Even the most basic centrifugal pumps have components that experience regular wear and tear, including:

• Bearings: The pump shaft is supported by one or more bearings that can degrade over time, affecting efficiency and increasing the risk of failure.
• Seals: Seals prevent water from leaking into the motor and need periodic replacement to avoid internal damage.
• Motors: Electric motors have their own seals and bearings that must be inspected and maintained to ensure long-term performance.

Wastewater pumps face additional challenges due to the nature of the fluid being processed:

• Grease and Solids: Normal wastewater constituents like grease can coat submersible motors, inhibiting heat transfer and reducing motor life.
• Clogs and Blockages: Solids and debris can accumulate, reducing pump efficiency and increasing strain on the motor.

Routine maintenance and detailed condition analysis can identify potential issues before they become costly problems. Our maintenance services include:

• Performance Testing: Regular testing to ensure pumps are operating at peak efficiency.
• Bearing and Seal Inspection: Replacing worn bearings and seals to prevent failures.
• Motor Cleaning: Removing grease and debris from submersible motors to improve heat dissipation and performance.
• Vibration and Temperature Monitoring: Identifying abnormal patterns that may indicate early-stage problems.

Unplanned pump failures can lead to downtime, increased energy costs, and expensive emergency repairs. By partnering with Pump Systems Inc. for regular maintenance, you’ll extend the lifespan of your equipment, improve reliability, and reduce operating costs.
