When we bought our place it came with a flo-tec. Since the place was built in 2006, we bought it in 2012, and it lasted until 2015, so I don't think it did too badly. It was left under the eaves for the first half of it's life without much protection from the weather. 9 years for a cheap and abused pump. Replaced it with another Home Depot brand, can't recall if it was also flo-tec, Wayne or Everbilt. A decent sized pressure tank keeps the pump from wearing out prematurely with on/off cycling.
If you pay someone else to do the work, replace the tank at the same time. If you do it yourself, you can decide how you want to do it. Often what happens to pumps is the pressure tank fails first, then the pump fails from the extra on/off cycling that results. Me? I'd replace both at the same time.
Me ka ha`aha`a,
