Vectra M2 Pump Failure

[marktiff]

Hi - disappointingly my Ecotech Marine Vectra M2 pump has failed just after 2.5 years.

For the value played I expected it to last a lot longer.

Both the Australian Distributor and Ecotech Marine have refused to replace under warranty.

do others share my thoughts that premium equipment should last longer then 2.5years?

Interested in other people's experience and expectations?

I’ve seen countless posts on 1-2 year failures for these pumps (and other expensive brands) without any warranty support. I just use the cheap Jebao DC pumps because they move the same amount of water and last just as long.

Can you be more descriptive of what the failure was please ? . Did it completely shut off and wouldn’t turn back on or it turned back on for a day or two or was it making noise or turning on and off all the time etc.
