How long does a water pressure pump last

[Matt&Jo]

Are these pumps straight forward to change folks? Is it as simple as isolate power and water unbolt and replace...?

Yep. Pretty much if you are changing like for like. Isolate the tank, pull the pump circuit breaker, drain water from pipes via taps, get towel ready to soak up the dregs.

Didn’t you just love that in the Haynes manuals?

Oh yes!  That and the old "Remove the six bolts and lift the assembly clear" then, over the page, "being careful to retain the springs and ball bearings".

oh yes re assembly is the reverse of the removal process.

but that depends on where the pump is  and where the builder realsed access was important ever 25 months

My Flojet developed a fault after about 14 years of light use but new o rings have it working okay for another year so far.

I guess a couple of years in liveaboard use is equivalent to 15 years hobby use.
