How often do I need to be replacing my pump parts?

I know that I used the bags for the microwave to sanitize as well as our dishwasher (I believe) but I would say every few months. It also depends on how often you use. I think I simply bought this as a back up incase anything happened to mine.

It really depends how often you use it. I bought two extra sets so I could have three sets and wouldnt have to wash it after each use. This way I had three clean sets ready to go and just had to wash them all together three pumps later. I've never had to replace the original one yet.

I replaced mine when it was not working anymore. Otherwise if it's cleaned well, you don't need to replace it often or at all.

It totally depends on the usage of the pump. I was pumping 7-8 times a day and they usually lasted me 2-3 mos.

One year replacement warranty. Do not believe you have a thing to worry about Hayward pumps are the ones you want.

3 year manufacturer warranty, but should last at least 5-8 years if not longer. My last pump lasted 15 years, but it was a Franklin all stainless not plastic.

Yes, you can buy replacement pumps on the website. Even though I have not had to replace mine, I checked for that option just in case.

That I don't know. I've only owned the one fountain. I have had for over 10 years and replaced the pump only once.

I have only had 1 warranty replacement of the electronics since 2010.You definitely want to check it occasionally and make sure it is running freely or you will burn it up.The 1600gph pump is rated for pools up to 12800 gals,so if that one is close to that I'd recommend upgrading to the 2650gal pump.Also make sure to backwash it at least 1x/mo to get rid of blockage in the sand from use.I usually watch the pressure gauge and when it gets close to the red I backwash it.

Previously, I had a Hayward single speed pump (3000 rpm). Now, with my Hayward SP2300 VSP, my energy consumption is reduced by approx. 55 to 75% (running at 2200 to 1500 rpm). This means that my new pump will pay for itself within approximately 12 months of continuous usage! If you plan to use your pool in the next few years, it is worth it to replace it now. You may want to calculate the energy savings using your local electricity rate to see how long it takes for the pump to pay for itself. When you do this calculation, you will wonder why you didn't replace the pump sooner!

My pump failed the first time after 3 months of occasional use. I had it repaired, seals, cleaned, desiccant, 3 times and now it sits in my basement as an ornament (or target).

I've had the pump since April 2011. Check out my review for some information http://www.amazon.com/review/R11CLLTP7487AP/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B0036E9VB6&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=

I've used this product for years, about 4 per year and have only had issues with the pump once. My solution is to buy another and save the pumps which work so you'll always have a backup.

It should last 3 to 4 weeks. 1 to 2 pumps are all that is typically needed.

I do not know if any kits are available. You will have to ask the manufacturer. I have been using the pump for almost a year on a weekly basis and have had not problems. The only point of design that I see as a weakness is the washer/grommet that connects the handle to the piston. That piece could be easily replace at a local hardware store. Cheers

I replace mine about every 6 months. As long as you have a shutoff valve ahead of the filter it's an easy un-screw the old, screw in the new replacement operation. I put a bucket underneath it to catch any water during the replacement (very little spills out.) Takes a couple of minutes at most.

Hard to say, but I have replaced 2 of thses pumps at about 5 years. One on a pool pump and one on a well pump. In both instances the bearings started to give out - and scream - so I just replaced the whole motor. I think 5 years is reasonble.

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.

It really depends on your usage. I change them every 12 months, or less if I notice a quality change. The manufactures website has a fact sheet that says how many gallons they are rated for.

One year life is standard for the pump. Just order a replacement. The whole unit should still save you money.
