I have seen mixed reports about Pentair pump corrosion. This is my 5 year old pump. I decided to scrape the paint off the best I could and apply Corrosion X last spring. When I returned to Florida after 5 months, the Corrosion X was starting to loose effectiveness in a few spots. I will reapply it every couple of months this season. I'm interested to hear how other folk's pumps are doing, corrosion wise.

I created this rain/sun shield to protect the motor controller and keep most of the rain off the metal housing.

My Pentair pump is 10 years old. No corrosion whatsoever. So it is most likely the fact you live in a wet, corrosive environment.
