Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Its been 7 months. The pump lost prime and began leaking water. Called manufacture who wouldnt stand by product warranty because it was purchased on amazon, not through a distributor, and wasnt installed by "pool guy." So i took the pump apart figuring it to be worth the effort...and the Shaft Seal had broken in two places. Did i mention its only 7 months old?!?! Totally crap product. Disrespectful company. Dont waste your money on Hayward products.
