Update it is 9/15/18 and the Hayward are still working. Do note my friend didn't listen to me and got Zodiac/Jandy LED when we got our Haywards on her new pool as they thought they looked better. Guess which friend already had an Zodiac LED fail completely last week and they told her it was out of warranty. Now she needs to decide should she replace 1/3 with a different brand or stick to Zodiac for aesthetics..... I warned her to run from Zodic/Jandy LED....
