Most spectra pumps have a warranty of one year. But this does not mean that they would not last much longer than that. In fact, mothers who pump regularly and make use of Spectra hospital-grade pumps have stated that these pumps last from seven months to several years, despite frequent applications over this long period. What matters in extending the durability of your spectra breast pump is the way you use and maintain it. If you want your spectra to pump to last long, you have to use it in such a clean and hygienic way. More so, you have to keep out of your children’s reach to avoid any damage. After every use, you wash every part of the pump. For tight valves and teats, you can use a silicone nipple brush to clean up. When you do this after every use, it reduces accumulated dirt and fossils that could hamper the smooth operation of your breast pump. You could also clean the tubing and faceplate once a month to avoid any mould growth.
