I have had one for 10 months. Don't use it that much but never any problems and battery charge lasts ages.

Don't use mine much. In three years I've probably used it on no more than 30 house's. It's had a new Battery, re wired the switch (knackered )and now the pump has packed in.
£84 for a new pump assembly, Don't think so.

Had mine about 9 months, first 6 months it was all I used till I got a van mount.
Cracking piece of kit, will work for a couple of days between charges working full days.
Still use mine for about 10 or so houses.
If you get on just check the connections as they can be loose. I would also advise keeping a spare fuse.
I've not had any other problems with mine.

Do they work on a pressure switch. ie: If you turn your water flow off at the pole does the pump knock off?
