Vectra M1 quality or not?

Recommended Posts

So I sent Ecotech Marine two (2) M1 pumps that were on the fritz. They immediately sent me replacements. I was excited about the customer service and responsiveness. But when I was reading the M1 pump reviews on BRS, this practice (pump replacing) appears to be common. My pump lasted 3.5 yrs before it conked out. 

 

Anyone have testimonials that speak to the quality of a vectra  M1 they own/owned? And where would you rank them when return pumps are concerned?

 

Thanks

Likewise, I’ve had mine for almost 2 years no issues.  

 

I’ve had my L1 replaced twice in the last 3-4 years. It would stop running all of sudden. When I open to clean, the impeller would not come out easily. I had to yank it out hard. It melted and kinda fused with the casing. Both times it was the same.

 

it seems like your sump have to be completely clean. Nothing but water should be pumped out.  Else stuff would get stuck and eventually grind up the impeller. So far this 3rd one has been running about 10 months, cleaned it once already and everything inside looks clean still.
