Q: How long does my pump last?

A: Pumps can last for 20 years with minor repairs. The motor however, generally lasts for 5 to 7 years as long as the seal does not leak. If you ever notice drips of water coming from the silver band clamp, you should have the seal replaced as soon as possible as this will drastically reduce the lifespan of the motor.


Q: How long will the plaster finish last?

A: Plaster on residential applications generally will last 10 to 15 years depending on how the pool chemistry is monitored. A high total alkalinity will cause scaling on the plaster. This scaling makes the plaster look dingy and can only really be effectively cleaned by draining the pool and acid washing. A low total alkalinity creates a corrosive environment that etches the plaster, making it rough and thus reducing the lifespan. If you have questions regarding proper water chemistry you can call us and we will either show you how to test & administer chemicals. or we can maintain your pool on our weekly service.
