Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this pump in June of 2015. In the past, my pool pump motors have lasted 5 years or more. This pump motor failed after 27 months, 10 months of which it was not used, as the pool is closed for the winter months. Not the quality I expected out of Hayward equipment. To those of you who would blame the operator, I have owned and maintained this pool for over ten years. I have regular inspections performed by a Hayward certified pool professional. The pump is out of the elements inside a small garage. This motor should not have failed this quickly.
