I think 60K or 70K is gonna be when I change mine.
Granted it is more pricey than a regular belt driven unit, but isnt 60-70k historically (I know, I too have had ones that have gone much longer) a replacement interval for pumps and thermostats?

At my rate, 60k will be a LONG time... Hope they still make 'em by then!!
