Title: Life span of a shurflo 100psi pump?
Post by: Jakey boy on September 27, 2014, 08:47:25 pm
What's the average life  span  expected out of these pumps? assuming using 5 days a week, not heavy use as I still trad some houses each day.

I had one 5 years,
Only changed it to a vyair one because it started to sound a bit rattley but still worked, was going to keep it as a spare but lent it never to be returned. The vyair one lasted about 2 years so bought another shurflo 2 years ago. money well spent.  :)

A pair at 3 years

A pair at 6 month

All sound the same, all run perfectly

A neighbour of mine who does something clever with RO systems for huge cruise ships (and knows his stuff) reckons these shurflo diaphragm pumps are designed to be worked hard.
