It has been almost 4 years and I've only replaced the seals on one pump. (and those seals were bad since the pump was new) For basic service you don't get near the seals. All that needs to be done is to remove the volute and clean the impeller. You only get into the seals if you remove the impeller. I also clean and regrease the volute o-ring.
