Has anyone used this system long enough to comment on the longevity of the pump?

I have three of these systems now, growing all the lettuce, kale, and other greens we can eat. I have mine set up indoors next to a south window with LED grow lights. As far as the pump goes no problems yet after maybe 6 months. It is a cheap pump, on Amazon they sell for around $30.00 so replacement is not a big deal...

It is a good little system, but it is easier to start from cutting and go from there

I am using a 5000 gpm pump and the system works very well. Hope this helps.

I purchased this pump as a replacement for a 2 year old complete Basement Watch Battery backed system. I was surprised the pump failed in only two years considering it only runs in the Spring and Fall for about 2-3 three months. The water is clean. It does lift the water about 10 feet. It was the easiest way to make the repair. If it only lasts two years again I'll switch to different manufacture.

I do not know. However, the pump has been going for several years now without issue.

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.

The pump can last about 5-7 years depending on usage and the contents in your water. If you are in need of more specific information we recommend that you call us directly at 800.991.0466 ext 3 for tech support

Hi, just be aware that it may fail also with little use. As soon as my warranty was out, my pump failed. They replied to my Amazon review that they'd exchange it but then only offered a discount. Not an honest company.

Mine lasted less than 4 hours. I think there are better external pumps. I switched to a submersible pump that is far more reliable.

I do not know but I have not had to use this pump. I bought it because I thought the other one I had quit working - I have had the original for over 10 years and run it almost constantly at least 10 weeks per year. This one I bought last year is my back up. But I have not had to use it.

I have not used mine as frequent as you are asking but it appears to be a well built commercial grade vacuum pump. My guess would be that it will last quite well for a pump in this price range.

This is a very inexpensive pump so it won't last forever. I have had three of them and they're good for maybe a year if constantly submerged. I keep buying this particular pump because it does the job and if you look at other 1/2 horse pumps your in for a sticker shock. PS: I just emptied my 22,000 gallon pool with it and it took less than 2 days with a 1-1/2 inch discharge hose

I have one that I installed myself a month ago and so far I haven't had any problems. I'm most pleased with the circulation pump. No waiting for hot water.

Had one installed when house built in 2002. Replaced it in 2013. It was still working fine but I replaced main Sump pump so thought I'd put in new watch dog also just to be extra safe. I believe since the backups rarely run they should last a long time. Very happy with mine!

I don,t think it has warranty, but I want you to know mine is perfect , the pump itself usually last 1 to 4 yrs.

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!!!!
