If you can find any better, let me know. Never had an issue myself.

Apparently there were a few Chinese copies coming onto the market sold by a couple of wfp distributors.

If you want a genuine Shurflo then speak to Daqua. Doug has helped a few identify if the pumps the have are the genuine article or not.

In 10 years of window cleaning I’ve NEVER had a shureflo pump fail.

My last one, I sold with my van, it lasted 8 years and was still pumping. my current pumps are 2 years old and going strong.

If it’s a genuine Shureflo then I don’t see how you can get any better.

The only problem I've had with shurflo pumps is with pressure switches
I think that's cos i dont use a controller
A new switch only costs £4 or so though

I wasn't aware there was a problem.
But saying that I bought one from Daqua around 2 years ago and it's the genuine article.

[dazmond]

i use a water genie pump.....does anybody know what pump it is?i think it might be a rebadged shurflo.....

My Pure Freedom pump is  3 years old now and never missed a beat.

[Pete Thompson]

I’ve always used Ionics pumps, which I think are manufactured by Aquatec.

My last van had 2 pumps (so 2 operators), not a single problem ever in 4 years.

Current van also has 2 pumps, and not a single problem in a year and a half.

Good question.
Our last pump came from Daqua. That one is  7 years old. The other 2 came from Williamson pumps along with the Varistreams back in 2007 and still working well.

If memory serves me PureFreedom as a supplier was the topic of a previous post regarding the supply of Chinese pumps.

My shurflo is 8 years old and still going strong, no idea how long I can expect out of it, but it amazes me how long it’s lasting!

[jk999]

This little beauty has just turned 14 years old, it hasn’t even had a pressure switch !

If you buy the pumps from Gardiners it’s the same pump as ionics just different label stuck on it and it’s half the price or just about , I have had both last many years very good pumps

[Smudger]

I have shurflo pumps going back 10 years and they were second hand then !!!

I have 4 from pure freedom between 4 and 2 years old - they look and are labelled exactly as the other pumps all going strong - only had that one pump where the Brush has clogged up  easy fix and still working
