10 years for my 100psi , not even had a PS yet

Rich

12 years for me.
Every now & then I think about having getting a spare.
Never have.

Out of curiosity have you bypassed the pressure switch too?

I've just noticed on mine it doesn't have a pressure switch, I use a flow control which does the job for me. Mayb this is why the shurflow last so long for some......

No mate, pressure switch is wired up.
Just as I bought it.

Ah ok. Thought i was on to something there. Lol.

Mine has lasted over three years, most weeks I work between 5 and 6 days.
It has never given me any trouble at all , I did take the pressure switch off from new and use the flow control one instead though.

 mine is over 10 years old. The pressure switch allen key adjuster is backed all the way off and still works as it should do. I am using the old type controller at setting 4/5.

100 psi Shurflo, coming up 10 years old. Replaced the brushes about 4 years ago and have a separate, heavier relay that takes the stress off the pressure switch.

I think the problem is exactly that. Yours was build years ago. Quality will be the pits now, as is everything.
Mine is less than a year old. Every time I turn it on its a different flow rate
