The answer to "how long does a pump last" depends on the type of pump in question:
- For a well pump (used for water wells), the average lifespan is generally around 8 to 15 years, depending on factors like frequency of use, motor quality, water sediment, and water table height.
- A muscle "pump" from exercise (the temporary swelling of muscles due to increased blood flow) typically lasts about 2 to 3 hours after a workout, varying with workout intensity, hydration, and nutrition.
- For pool pumps, the lifespan is usually about 8 to 12 years, with long-lasting brands able to reach up to 15 years if well maintained.
- For Grundfos brand pumps, typically used in heating and other systems, the average lifespan is around 15 to 20 years, again depending on model and maintenance.
- Heat pumps (used for heating/cooling homes) generally last about 15 to 25 years.
If the question is about a specific pump type, let me know for a precise answer. Otherwise, pumps can last from a few hours (muscle pump) to about 15-25 years (mechanical pumps) based on use and maintenance.
