Nice pump, but it has to run 24x7 as a recirculation pump in my hot tub. The only time it does not run are for the short intervals when the blower motor is running during hot tub use. In a continuous duty, the pump only lasts a year or two max before the bearings start to go out. They are very easy to replace. My hot tub 20 years old, so I must have put in about 10 of these over the years. They used to be about a $100, but seem to go up in price every year. At some point, it will be more cost effective to replace the hot tub with a more efficient motor system.

Made in America isn't what it use to be. (It says assembled in Mexico) The last one only lasted less than 3 years before starting to leak from the seal. The one before that only lasted 3 1/2 years. The hot tub is only powered on less that 1/3 of the year and is inside and not outside. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find an alternative that hooks up to the plumbing. The Tiny Mights from years past use to last longer but I guess they have designed these to fail so you have to keep buying from them. Very irritated.

This pump runs continuously as a recirculation pump in my hot tub, other than when the blower jets motor is running. Since it is continuous operation 24x7, it will last a few years before I he bearings wear out and needs to be replaced. The orientation of the pump valves are easily adjusted by removing three screws. It takes me only 15 minutes to replace pumps.

I use this pump to recirculate the water in our hot tub. Does a good job, is quiet. I have a 50 micron filter on the inlet side to protect the impeller from sediment and minerals in our water. Draws a prime quickly. The water them passes through 2 additional 50 micron filters and does not seem to drop pressure or flow. I would recommend this pump for any kind of this service.

I bought this item for my backup. I am using one now for my Koi fish pond. It works very good.
