Your pump can last indefinitely with proper care: 1. Do not pump too quickly or the heat will damage the seals. Maximum speed should be about 2 seconds per cycle: 1 second up; 1 second down. 2. Keep moisture out of the pump and gun. If you live in a humid climate, use a dessicant kit. One is available from the pump manufacturer, Sun Optics (817 783 6001) 3. Lubricate the pump with silicone base. Do not use petroleum based lubricants. 4. If the pump seals fail, replacements are available from Sun Optics. Sun Optics can also answer technical questions and provide some telephone assistance.

My pump failed the first time after 3 months of occasional use. I had it repaired, seals, cleaned, desiccant, 3 times and now it sits in my basement as an ornament (or target).

I have been using this filter system on my pool and spa with about the same volume 14,000 gals with a 2.5 HP Pentair Whisperflo pump for seven years before I recently replaced the unit mainly just for cosmetic reasons, but they do recommend replacing the filter cartridge every three years, however, it was still in pretty good shape after 7 yrs, in fact I gave it to my daughter to reuse with her pool. Hope that answers your question.

Not recently anyway. I have had several pumps for a number of years, and as I recall I purchased them FRM DaVinci. They work well, so if you have to buy one it should last a long time.

I've been running mine all summer for 2 years with no problem at all. It's a great pump.

It's 1/4 tsp or 1/4 pump once or twice a day as needed. If using twice a day it will last 3 months(approx.) or 6 months if used once a day.

I don,t think it has warranty, but I want you to know mine is perfect , the pump itself usually last 1 to 4 yrs.

If you use the recommended 3-5 pumps daily then your bottle should have a life of 45-50 days.

As others have said, its the battery that goes first. Mine lasted about 3 years although they claim 5 out of them. the pump itself should last you about 10 years, but this all depends on how often its pumping. If its just occasionally when it rains heavy and there is a power outage, then it should last you a great deal of time.....but.....you should always test it on a regular basis. You do not want to be running to the local store looking for one when the power is out and you realize yours isnt working because guess what...so will everyone else and they will likely be sold out, plus you dont want to be changing a pump with a full sump.

I bought it for my 3 year old grand-daughter and she operated it just great! i would probably say 2-1/2 to 5 yrs.

I had this pump go from a five gallon bucket to 8 ft. above that, so 6 should be just fine.

I use it only one a day, and with one pump per day, it will last about 6 months.

I had to replace the spare parts on mine after about 6 months of very heavy use. It's also good to have a spare parts kit on hand just in case anything happens. Not fun to be stranded without a functioning pump! Loved this pump. It served me well for a year of heavy use and is still going strong.

Most of the time they last me all summer. The ones I put in when I got the pump are still in there so that is at least 3 months now. I hope that helped you.

The battery lasts anywhere from 3 to 5 years or so. The pump should last longer. You test it regularly and I would think about replacing from time to time, just for peace of mind.

It would depend on amount of use and how well you take care of it. I expect mine to last 5 years at least.

about six months. I use two pumps every morning for two much smaller dogs and it lasts me at least six months if not longer...
