I purchased this Hayward pump 2 years ago and the motor failed today. Hayward customer service said sorry it only has a 1 year warranty. pretty much out of luck. This pump only ran 8 hours a day from june thru september.Also drained and removed from service every winter and stored in garage. my first pool pump was over 6 years old before it failed and it was a generic brand. I thought when I bought Hayward I was buying from a company that would back their product better then they are... I am very dissappointed and unsure if I should purchase another Hayward product. Looking at the reviews for this pump I think I must of bought a lemon.
