A variable speed pool pump typically lasts between 8 to 12 years, depending on several factors. Proper maintenance plays a crucial role in extending its lifespan, as does the pump’s quality, how often it’s used and the environmental conditions:

• Regular cleaning and upkeep prevent degradation and extend the pump’s life by ensuring it operates efficiently.
• Pumps with robust materials, such as thermoplastic composite resin, are more durable and therefore last longer.
• Pumps running at high speeds for long periods experience more wear and tear, whereas optimising speed settings reduces motor strain and increases longevity.
• Extreme weather and corrosion can damage the pump, especially if it isn’t adequately protected.
