My first ARTIS OEM water pump in my big horn lasted about a season, then it just started to surge like crazy. Sent it back to the elkhart based service center, and they said it was in specs. Sure it would pump water, but surged so bad it was not very usable. So I replaced it with a surflow 4008, which was much quieter and worked great, a big improvement over the ARTIS. Now after two seasons my sureflow is not pumping first trip out this year. The motor runs, but doesnt pump anything. Luckily this pump is still under its two year warranty, so I am sending it back to the elkhart based warranty center. We shall see how this is handled by them. I know this surflow isnt the most expensive unit out there at roughly $80, but is it common for these units to last just a couple of years?
