How many years has yours lasted?
The Hayward super pump seems to be very popular but I don’t understand why.


By my local pool store today to get a new shaft seal for a super pump that is just 3 months old.
Local store said they stopped carrying Hayward pumps after 20 years because they started having a lot of problems with lockup.

I have had an AG pool for 20 years. I had 2 Jacuzzi pumps and both lasted 10 years each without any other problem. Then it was just a shaft seal.
The cons were hard to get parts and poor tech support but then again did not really need this.
After the last one I thought after 10 years again I would try a Hayward .
Switched to Hayward and now 3 months and a shaft seal leak I also read a lot of post were they don’t seem to last is this normal. Hayward parts are a little cheaper and easy to get. But better to not need the parts.
