“Used for years. Unit has serviceable parts. Easy to repair. But being a toilet I choose to replace with new. This is my third unit in 18 years. I have had no service between replacement”
“This is my second pump. My first one lasted 13 years (My washing machine discharges to the pump as well, so the motor saw a lot of action in 13 years). I can tell that this pump is a better design than the ones from years past. I feel that it's quieter. It also hooked up to my old toilet just fine. The only thing, ONLY THING, that's annoying is that the discharge hole and the vent hole are on opposite sides of the new pumps than they were on the older pumps (If you're putting this in new for the first time, then this isn't an issue. But if you're replacing an old pump, it's a little annoying. My first thought was to connect the discharge line first with as few parts as possible, and then re-work the vent line with whatever you need to do to make it work. Fortunately, I only had to add a 45 degree PVC elbow and small connector pipe to connect into the existing discharge line. To be honest, it really wasn't a big headache to get around (it's just something you'll want to know about beforehand so that it isn't a shock)). It took me about an hour and a half to put the new pump in place of the old pump and run some new pipe pieces.”
