Failed after 75 days, just like the non-Polaris units

Failed after 75 days, just like the non-Polaris units
Just like everyone else I've been disappointed by the the knockoff valves dying after only a few months so I thought I'd try this genuine Polaris backup valve from the Polaris store. It lasted 75 days running 4 hours a day. It failed in the same spot that the rest of them fail - the bearing of the turbine wheel opposite the end with the gear on it. It slowly wears through the plastic "bearing" until the turbine wheels can no longer turn, then the turbine wheel locks in place wherever the valve happened to be at the time. The top unit is the Polaris unit, the bottom unit is one of the knockoffs (also purchased on Amazon).I can't understand why they don't use a metal bearing so that these things will last more that a few months!
