There isn't a mechanical reason that I am aware of but I don't think cole-parmer rates them for continuous duty. That said my oldest one has been in my possession for around 9 years and I took it out of the trash after another reefer (my boss when I worked for Aquatic Art) tossed it for fear it was reaching end of life. It's probably been running as an ATO pump for close to 15 or 16 years.
