My Question
The Response
So this raises the question... how long could I expect my pump to last? If I stick the MD-20RLZT in the system and I can only expect my pump to last six months, well that is just unacceptable.
Hello,
Do you happen to know the (Mean Time Before Failure) MTBF on the following pumps?
JS 10-245404-03 (CM30P7-1)
MD-20RLZT-115
MD-30RLZT-115

No manufacture has a MTBF rating! It all depends on what your pumping and the hydraulics behind it. If your pumping water at ambient temperature, with the flow curve at the BEP ( best efficiency point) and ample NPSHA, the pump should last a while, But if your hydraulics are not ideal, it changes everything. So, it is very hard to tell how long a pump will last without all the information required.
