I replaced a lower quality ISE just last year.
At first it started leaking then it burned out.
When I took it out I saw that the leak was water running
right thru the unit and it's ultimate failure was
inevitable. I think this was a low end 333 model.

I replaced it with a 555. Much quieter and I think
it will prove more durable.

I had one, a 444 made by ISE. They had sold thousands of these with a
bad seal. Water leaked past the seal locking the motor up tight.

Waranty services replaced it no questions asked.
That's the kind of customer service I won't forget.
