They are good budget pumps, not as good as the ones that cost twice as much, but what do you expect.
Once a year or so take it apart and soak the volute and cover and impeller (all the plastic pieces) in vinegar overnight. I usually use this opportunity to take off the dust cover and fan and clean all the metal assembly. That is it!
