How often should a solar water pump be replaced

How long does a solar water pump last?

A well-installed and maintained water pump can last anywhere between 10 to 20 years, and it’s not uncommon to encounter solar pumps that are over 30 years old. The longevity of your pump will largely depend on its usage, maintenance, and the quality of installation. To get the most out of your solar water pump, you need to maintain it.

Are solar water pumps worth it?

Absolutely! Solar water pumps are known for their reliability over the years. With fewer moving parts compared to traditional pumps, they require less maintenance. Plus, with solar panels lasting 25-30 years, you’re looking at a long-term solution for your water supply needs.

How often should you change the water pump?

On some vehicles, the waterpump is changed at 404,000 kms (or approximately 250,000 miles). For Toyota V6 engines, the timing belt and water pump should be changed every 90,000 miles. It's recommended to do it sooner on older vehicles. Cooling system maintenance is universally neglected, which can corrode the fins off the pump and destroy the bearings and seals.

Should I replace the water pump every 60K?

If the timing belt (TB) was done at regular intervals of every 60,000 miles, then the water pump would not need to be replaced at that interval, but rather every other TB change of 120,000 miles. If the water pump goes, it will likely leak at the shaft seal, which will show up as coolant draining out the bottom of the TB cover. I'd leave it for now and keep an eye on any coolant leak.
