Now they last about 10 to 15 years.

It's not something that will really increase the life of a product unless a user is really letting their equipment get gunked up which causes wear and failures. I see this coating as decreasing the work needed for maintenance and also combatting the decreases in performance you may see as coralline algae grows and blocks things. But motors on pumps will still fail or impellers wear out or heaters electronics etc will still fail etc. The manufacturers will still be able to sell you replacement products. they will just sell you products that require less frequent cleaning. Or aquariums where you don't have to scrape coralline algae off your glass. That's the goal.
