How to extend the life of my deep well submersible pump?

Inspecting and Maintaining Your Pump

Inspecting your deep well submersible pump regularly will help identify potential issues before they become major problems. Check the pump’s mechanical seals, bearings, and impeller for signs of wear or damage. Also, inspect the control panel and wiring for any signs of overheating, damage, or corrosion. It’s recommended to inspect the pump every 6-12 months, or as specified by the manufacturer.

Storing the Pump Properly

When storing the pump, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Typically, you should store the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Cover the pump to protect it from dust and debris. If the pump is to be stored for an extended period, consider flushing the system with a cleaning solution to prevent mineral buildup and corrosion.

Reducing Pump Wear and Tear

To reduce pump wear and tear, it’s essential to control the flow rate and pressure. Over-pressurizing the pump can lead to premature wear and damage. Consider installing a pressure-reducing valve or flow control valve to regulate the pressure and flow rate. Additionally, ensure that the pump is properly sized for the well and demand requirements. A pump that is too small or too large for the application can lead to increased wear and tear.
