I've had the pump for a month now and it is great. My car runs smooth and strong when I need it and it was worth the money

This pump is designed to last ~100,000 miles, and has a lifetime warranty.-Sean

I used to work in basement waterproofing, and these were a big part of what I worked on every day. Many, many pumps I went to service were over 10 years old and still running fine, the switch had simply been jammed against the side of the pit. Very good pump, and I heartily recommend it.

Nothing will happen to it, it will be fine. It may get a little warm but that is ok. Hope it answered your question. It's a great pump. Nearly indestructible. I am on my 2nd one had the first one for 8 years and used it constantly. Highly reccommend this pump.

1 year... but you don't want this pump. Mine went out right after the warranty expired. If you research them, you'll see that they all have the same issue. .. the electronic control pad goes out... $800 to replace it!!!!

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 have not had it repaired. My trouble has been that the motor would run and not pump. I have not attempted to repair - just bought a new one. I did keep the switch from the old one just in case. I am not pleased with the overall quality of the pump as I have had to replace about every two years. I use it to pump gas from a 5 gallon can into my boat to save trips to the marina and those gas prices. I have looked for alternatives but have not been able to find one. The last time I replaced, I took the hose from the old one and glued onto the new one to make a longer hose.

It has a 1 year warranty... Not great, but if you do a good job to make sure it is protected from the weather, it should hold up. It cannot be exposed to the elements, the control panel is not weatherproofed. I built a small house for it that I take off whenever I need to access the control panel. I have had it for about 6 years now, and have had no problems once I figured out how to get it to not shut down when our pool solar turns on... That was an experience... :) Great pump that is very energy efficient! I was wrong about the warranty... I looked at Pentair web site and discovered that it can have up to a three year warranty from Pentair, but it has to be professionally installed to get that. I have never had anything professionally installed, so I guess I had a 60 day warranty... (I'm a mechanical engineer who used to be an auto mechanic. I do everything myself.)

The literature says "limited lifetime" warranty. I'm not sure exactly what's covered and what's not, but I will tell you this is a quality pump for a good price. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!

Five years is pretty good I think depending on conditions that is kept in runtimes and if a lot of leaves gather a rounded the motor can hold moisture making it rust on the inside this could also shorten pump live

This pump is not worth buying mine lasted 1month before it went dead. The other only lasted a week more than the first. Choose another

we only used for a few nights. not sure if it's durable for long term use. sorry. it's definitely not flimsy or a piece of junk. it is really thick plastic. with integral pump. just not sure how it would last day after day. for my money, at only 2-30 bucks, it's worth trying. nothing else comes close. nuff said. i sound like an ad.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

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.

Common. I have this exact pump and it works great for a home workshop. I only use it once ever six months and it is holding up just fine. If it's to be used in a commercial shop where it is used everyday of the week, you may want to look at something a little heavier duty.

Yes, very nice. Motor is less stressed compared to 115 and the amperage draw is less as well in comparison. Almost a month and I'm still pleased with this pump.

I have had mine almost a year and so far l have not had to replace the pump however I do take it a part a clean on a weekly basis.

It hasn't happened to me, but I would guess that the pump will continue to run "dry". Probably not a big deal for short periods of time, but could accelerate the wear on the pump.
