This pump ran for 3 years before housing gasket sprung a leak and shot water all over lowering my pool level. I had alot more expensive pumps last only a year or two. I always keep an extra of these on hand and if I have issues I can swap out easy using quick connects. The previous one lasted 2.5 yrs so very happy with performance. Sometimes they are loud but not every one is. I could not find parts for them, a real bummer. I need a new housing gasket. The motor, impeller are still good condition.
