FWIW, I got word from Roger the tunze rep on RC... He mentioned the pumps life is only expected to be 18-24 months.

Mine lasted about that long.
If you're looking for good top off pump get dosing pump (peristaltic).

You can also get 12VDC pumps from Princess Auto for about $10.

I dont think I paid more than 10 bucks for the replacement from JL.

Crazy I've been running mine for 3 years without any problems. I guess I have something to look forward to. Might pick up a new pump just to have on hand
