Tunze 6105 life expectancy?

[gonzo620]

So I cleaned my tunze 6105 on Jan 13 with a vinegar soak and scrub. Friday February 15 I can home to the pump not running. I managed to get it to run again put it back in the tank. Now today same thing. Came home pump off. Controller still lighting up but the pump won’t turn. Been messing with it for about 1hr. What is the typical life expectancy of these tunze pumps? This one is 3 years old.

I wouldn't say all equipment comes with a standard life expectancy. I have seen high end equipment fail within a year, i have seen low end equipment last longer than high end equipment. Depending on how well it was cleaned, the frequency cleaned, how high it was running, if pulse mode was used all changes the life expectancy of the pump.

All of my 6105’s have been going 5+ years

My 6065 is 10 years old. I had a 6060? - back when they were huge that lasted a little less then 10 years before it died. I have a couple of nano streams that are around the same age too. Tunze powerheads seem to last longer then any others I've tried but this is still a pretty small sample size. I have gone through a couple of osmolator's in the same time.

They are generally worth writing into your will, but @rvitko can surely help get you running again.
