I've had several pumps that don't last long because of rusting parts. Do any parts on the pump rust?

I didn't experience any rust, but be careful when you clean the pump. Mine stopped working after I took it apart to clean it. But it always looked nice and never rusted.

I hope the company has improved the pump after we purchased 3 of them. All parts are made out of plastic as other reviewers have stated, so no rust.... However, in my case all 3 pumps stop producing foam after a couple of weeks.

Hi Stephanie: No...everything is plastic. The top looks like chromed metal but it is plastic also. Our three pumps are still performing well after nearly a year of daily use. I think you'll be happy with this pump.

It didn't rust, but it didn't last very long either. I had to throw it away and I wouldn't buy this again.

I read somewhere that if you add 1/2 tsp of olive oil or almond oil, it will make the pump last longer. It was on a web site that gave a recipe for making your own liquid soap and also mentioned this container specifically. http://wellnessmama.com/8631/diy-foaming-hand-soap/

None of them have rusted yet. I've just ordered the new version in black rather than plastic silver. As I and others have mentioned, the silver part that the soap drips on discolours easily

I've had mine for about 4 months now and use it regularly, and haven't seen any rust yet!

We have two of these, and neither has rusted yet. And we do keep water in them pretty much 24/7.

Yes it does, great pump I have used mine regularly for over a year with no issues.

I also have a rust problem and found the best method is to install a prefilter upstream of this one. Use one of the white string wound type filters. It helps this filter last longer. Otherwise, you get about a month or so of use.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

I have not had mine that long so no rust - BUT, my sister has had one for a long time and NO rust. Maybe it is your water?? We love this product.

Great warranty response. They sent me a new pump when mine failed after several months. Cordial, polite. I would buy these again. You can get parts, too.

Using for about 8 months and no signs of rust. I had a similar unit for several years and it did show some signs of rust. I returned it to simplehuman and they gave me a brand new one, no questions asked.

Hi, I have never had a problem with the pump. I would say that it was an isolated issue which happens with most products. Mine works incredibly well.

I don't know about others, but for me, my kettle works well and I have not found any rust problem on it since I bought it month ago, I use it at least twice a day. Hope it will help you

I have not had a problem with mine. Did you check out the video's on how to clean the pump? That might help.

I've had mine for 2-3 years now. I leave water in it and use it daily. Never had a spot of rust.

I do. It has been there since I got it and I water plants on it.No rust yet, but then again, i dont care if it does eventually happens.

I've had mine now for a couple of months and love it. I would be surprised if it does rust, though I haven't had a lot of time to really answer definitively. It cleans wonderfully though and even the baked on drips slide right off. Thanks

I've had it extensively in water and haven't had any issue with rust of some of the parts.

I have had mine for about 7 months so far and do keep water inside of it when not in use. There has been no issues with rust thus far, and I just checked the interior of the kettle.
