Hi Shawn,sorry to hear the bad news,but if you are going to buy a 100 psi pump and varistream theres a few suppliers that sell them as a package deal,

My advice (for what it's worth) stick to Flojet pumps.

  For varistream Cleantech they will always be the cheapest , Williamson
  supply these to Cleantech but Williamson are more expensive as well
  as other suppliers  ;)

  However stick to Alex's advise on pumps.

As jeff says nothing lasts forever.

Even Flojet do have faults occasionally, however they do seem on balance to be more robust, their pressure switches seem to last longer.

I have my original 60psi pump which is 5 years old now, however for the last 2 1/2 years it has been in tandem with a second  60psi, one pump for each hose reel.

You get what you pay for (nearly always!)
