What kind of service life does this have outdoors?

I live in NC where it is extremely hot & we have had absolutely no problem with the material breaking down. It's been in continual usage & looks just like it did when we first set it up. It is a very durable product.

These are outstanding products. I have water-loving drafts, that like to splash inside the trough (with giant feet inside) not just drink. I have never had to throw a tuff stuff away. Others are junk, not these. Worth the money.

It's made of extremely durable material. Sunlight might cause problems over time, but my guess is it'd take years of direct sunlight to start seeing problems.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

It is for inside use I think, but if you spray painted it with a clear protective paint it would probably be OK outside for a few years.

I have had mine for 2 years now and have not had any problems. The temps are constant and no service work has been needed.

It does ok for me, but I work inside, and don't spend a ton of time outside. I also take it off to clean it from time to time as dust/dirt tends to build up on the bottom end. If you're using it outside a lot, I wouldn't recommend this.

Yes. I have one of this model outdoor under covered area for couple of years and it is working fine. As long as it does not in the open and could get wet you are fine.

This pump can be installed indoors or outside in the open. It will withstand the elements without any problems.

I've used it outdoors in the rain and no issues. I can see nothing on it that is subject to water issues... it's like a lawn mower, or snow blower in that regard as far as how I've used it.

I've had mine up for 2 years outside. But have had to do some modifications because of some wear and tear.

I Disagree with the last comment. We have had our for almost two years and have had no problems. Do need to take it outside about once every six months and break it down and clean it. I am guilty of going over a year without cleaning it and it still worked fine. Don't know what the other folks problems were. They never did say. Even if it breaks down in two year, I'll just buy another one.

I've left mine outside and turned on from May - October for the past 3 years, come rain or shine or torrential rains or whatever, and never had a problem until the other day when a bulb started dying. Three years is pretty good life for something I abuse so badly. :)Never gave the plug much thought. The device plug fits nice and snugly into my heavy duty outdoor extension cord, never had a problem with water in there.

We have had ours for about 4 months. It is always outside and no corrosion yet. We picked this particular model and style because of the price and it's supposed to withstand corrosion.

We have had ours installed on the side of our house for several months. It has been exposed to heavy snow and rain and continues to work well.

I have B&D; cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years. Then, it died. It was changed in service station for a new one. This one has lasted 4 years (5 seasons). But, the running time gets shorter and shorter, then the time is stable and is about 1/2 of the original running time. But, that is good enough for me since I mow front and rear separately. The problem is: now one front wheel got lost. Seems no way to repair. It still mows though. I am thinking to replace it. It might be M&D.; However, I am thinking about Neuton Mower. It seems better but more expensive. I have B&D; cordless mower for 7 years. I am happy with it. The battery life could be short. 2 years is what they expect. My first battery last about 2 years.

I have had mine outdoors since I've had it and have not had no problems with it. It has rained on it plenty. That is a good question I assume it is

I've had mine outside since I purchased it last spring. FYI, I live in so cal

I have it located outside under a shop sink. I've cleaned it one time in five years. But I only have it plugged in during the winter. So I would say it depends on your water condition and amount of use. I'm very happy with it.
