I would suggest they were poor quality or faulty from the start. I have
installed many such pumps - they run happily and been submerged for
decades.


If you mean pond pumps, yes they run for many years, however if you
mean submersible pumps for pumping out cellars and such they aren't
rated for continuous submersion in the main.
