Mine is dead too after one year of pumping excess water out of the 15 ft. pool. Noticed the inside was a little wet. Think the O-ring seal is NG. Cannot submerge the unit

I don't recall losing settings by the occasional power outage. However the entire circuit board shorted out at 20 months. The repair would have been more then a new pump cost. This pump was rushed to production without proper testing and therefore I would not recommend it. The 1 year warranty is not long enough. I replaced with an Ecopump that came with a 5 year warranty and is more efficient. Hayward customer service is horrible.

My first one failed like yours did almost immediately. I got it replaced. The new one has been fine, and I use it several hours every night.

I have found these inexpensive soap dispensers invariably fail after a year or so. In fact, I believe I recall some name brands failing in the same length of time. I don't have a solution...

Ours quit working after about a week or so. We contacted them and they emailed me a UPS return label so I could return it for free. As soon as the received it they credited my money back to my card. So not sure what would have happen if we had had it longer. But for us we were happy and satisfied with the company's handling of this event. I wish I could help you more. Good luck with yours if you get one. We didn't replace it with the same one, we opted for a model with a 1500 ML water reservoir.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I was very unhappy with that pump. I warmed up my boat engine for about 15 minutes and let that pump run for about 20 minutes and bearly got a quart out. Used a hand pump and got the rest out in about 5 minutes

My last one failed after quite a long time, it just wouldn't go on, I changed batteries, tried to open it, but just figured it wore out. I just bought another one. So I don't really know why they fail. Sorry.

Bought my last one from Amazon, pump lasted 10 days, I give up, the pumps for these damn things just don't last.

Sorry to hear that. My first lasted for years. My second still works. Try calling the company and if they are nonresponsive, leave a bad review on their website. Leave a bad review on Amazon.com. Google Koolatron complaints and see if anyone else posted problems. Companies hate bad publicity.

I got two in a row and they worked well for a minute and then died. I thought something was wrong with it, but I guess it may be the batteries...that is ridiculous. We only used it like 3 times.

I went thru 2 of these. We had pretty high watee pressure and the switch leaked on both of them. It mostly turnrd it off but there was a constant dribbling when i usedvthe switch.

I bought 2. 1 worked for about 10 days then stopped, and the other never worked. All I used them for was heating water. JM

we've had it only a short time, but ALL sump pumps get some form of rust in a couple years. you won't have to worry about it because by the admission of most pump makers, the switches will fail in 2 years. we have been thru 11 pumps in the past 10 years due to switch failure....all different makes. even the more expensive ones don't last, so don't sweat the rust. FYI...we live in a big town with city water and the pump doesn't run often enough to be the problem. ask any plumber....2 years life on the switch.

I might have to get a new pump because this one has blown the fuse 3 times now. Cool pump if it weren't for that problem...

Funny timing. The motor just went out on my pump (after 9 mos of use) and I called Phillips. They could not have been nicer. Fedexing me am entirely new pump set. I don't know if it will be the newer model but I will say the memory feature is clutch. Remember to register your pump (card comes in the box) and/or keep your amazing proof of purchase because the warranty is good for two years.

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

I bought some on 9/23/14 and have run into several that lasted only a couple hours. Looks like we bought from the same lot. Still have some left but have not encountered any more short-lived ones for some time. All the bad one were from the same package. Probably not worth the time and effort to contact iCellTech.
