They’re a crapshoot. They’re one of the most popular consumer grade pumps here since there aren’t a lot of options like in the US or Europe, so we have a lot of experience with them. They might last a few years, or they might fail after a few months. They will fail, generally in the first 3 years. It might not be a permanent failure but you’d better be around to catch it. If you’re going to use them, run two.Does anyone have an idea you can expect the Ecotech Marine Vectra M2 to run?

I had 3 reeflo before Abyzz, 1st one leaked right after the install, 2nd one leaked within 2 years, 3rd was for backup and I'm no longer interested on installing it one more time. I even switched out bearings for repairs and they didn't last or even worked.For your use case I’d recommend Iwaki for sure, not a DC pump.
For the price of those pumps, I would (honestly) expect overnight replacement service to an original owner for 10+ year no questions warranty. A pump is a pump for the arguments sake, some better or worse, but at 10x the cost, it should have at least 5x the warranty and replacement.Just had my Abyzz A400 died on the 22nd, perfect timing before our hosting for the Christmas, It did run for 7 years so I'm not complaining. Still waiting on Germany to see if they can warranty my pump.
Meanwhile I have ordered 2x Deltec E Flow 16, one for backup, one for testing. A400 did have a good pressure pushing up from my basement to the main floor, but I had to dial it down due to the flow was too much.
Considering my experience with the reeflo, my expectation was pretty low at that time. lolFor the price of those pumps, I would (honestly) expect overnight replacement service to an original owner for 10+ year no questions warranty.

Correct - AC pumps (be they split capacitor, induction start, or whatever) are extremely simply machines. They have no electronics to burn out.Furthermore, why do you think all these AC pump companies are still in business? It’s because they’re the most reliable pumps in the world, with several decades of operational history. That doesn’t exist with DC pumps. DC stuff is consumer grade, which means it’ll break and you’ll have to replace it every few years (which, btw, probably nullifies any supposed savings on electrical costs). Abyzz is the closest there is to a commercial grade DC pump but it still doesn’t have widespread adoption because it just hasn’t existed long enough so it doesn’t have a track record measured in the decades.
Curious to see how they treat you, registration or not. If they stick to the fine print I will not be impressed (again given the cost).Considering my experience with the reeflo, my expectation was pretty low at that time. lol
If you read their fine print, they want you to register their pump within 4 weeks of purchase by mail/fax in order to receive the 10 years warranty....I'm not sure if they are serious about this registration process, and I don't know how many ppl actually read that...
I will report back once there is an update.Curious to see how they treat you, registration or not. If they stick to the fine print I will not be impressed (again given the cost).
