how long do these pumps last?

I'm not sure because while I thought my pump had died, my husband googled a few things and found that replacing the white valves really help. I replaced them and the suction is good as new!

I had mine for about a month when it started malfunctioning. It would turn off in the middle of pumping. My understanding from other threads about this pump is that it used to be a quality pump and brand, but that once manufacturing got moved to China, the quality went down drastically. You would probably be better off going with a higher quality brand, such as medela. If price is an issue, you can usually find used pumps on Craigslist for a reasonable deal and then just purchase your own accessories kit (which is anything that would come in contact with the milk). Hope that helps!

I had mine 3 months before it stopped sucking. It wasn't as high of quality as the Medela pump, but I thought that I'd just deal with it since insurance paid for it. Well, it really messed my supply up, so I got a Medela anyways. HUGE difference. I went from barely getting 2oz out to getting 4-5oz a pumping.

I used mine for over a year - as long as I kept the valves replaced regularly it worked great almost the whole time. The last month or so I could tell the motor noise wasn't as strong as usual so I think it was on its last legs, but luckily I was past my 12-month goal so it wasn't a big deal.

I have to be honest and say that I don't know for sure I have used it on several occasion for 2 weeks straight as follow1._ Make sure I have a full charge2._ Fill up the bed.3._ Then as needed refill the bed. (The battery was good for the 2 weeks period)I never had to inflate and deflate the bed on a daily basis and can't say how long the pump will last under those conditions

Long time so far. I am sure it depends on how often you open and close the valve. Standby mine have lasted 6 mo. so far.

Warning: I would not buy this pump. When I received mine the electrical connections We're not sealed. It lasted about 3 weeks pumping clear water about 10 minutes a day.

I use them in an inline chlorinator about 6 pieces at a time. They usually last about a week when I am running the filtration for 8 hours a day. If you are using these in a float for a smaller pool I think they would last longer, maybe up to 2 weeks.

I purchased this in 2011, but it only lasted for a little over a year. I don't believe that the soap pumps work for a long time. It's been so long that I'm not sure if I can answer your question. The only thing that I can think of is to switch the batteries. So sorry that I couldn't really help.

i would say about a year, they last a very long time and truly a rinse goes a long way but after a while you'll notice the rinse won't do anything ... i usually change it every year or so.

I have been using since it came out, I use 4 pumps and it last over a month (35-40 days). I'm 49 years old and need 4 pumps. I put it on my face, my chest and what is left over on the back of my hands. I've tried 2 pumps but doesn't go far enough for me.

3 year manufacturer warranty, but should last at least 5-8 years if not longer. My last pump lasted 15 years, but it was a Franklin all stainless not plastic.

According to the instructions, they will last 30-40 fillings of the tank. In my case it is about every 3 months which is similar to the older filters.

It depends on how heavy the usage is on your system. They usually last about 3 to 4 months with our system.

My first one lasted five years. Had to replace the pump once and tubing etc every other year.

Yes, last two orders the pumps are not working. I have been using these for about 2 years and no issues. Then when the first one came and I could not use it and my boyfriend also spend a long time trying I figured it was a fluke. Now with the second order and not working I am not so happy.

I just got back from a fishing trip where I turned mine on Friday morning, and didn't turn it off until Sunday afternoon. The pump had been on continuously for about 50 hours without any issues and was still going strong. Bait that I had put in on Friday was still alive Sunday.
