Just curious. Tried out wave mode on the return pump on my 25 lagoon today and quite liked it. It's a Mighty Jet pump.

I am less worried about 5% loss of lifespan, wondering more about 25-50% or more.
 
just by the nature of it yes it will lessen the lifespan. I’d certainly guess more than 5% but exactly how much I’m not sure. Also though if a pump is going to last 4.5 years instead of 5 years, that may not seem like a huge deal
