I was thinking today and realized my Reeflo dart pump has been running trouble free now for 6 years. What is the lifespan on these pumps and when should I expect problems? I would hate to come home to a leaking or stopped pump and prized stingrays dead.

Should I change it out as I have spare pumps for both of my sumps? Having spare pumps only helps if you are at home when they quit. I would hate to come home to dead stingrays because my pump was leaking or quite working.


Any suggestions or preventive measures?
