Pumping System Maintenance

A lot of times, water pump problems come up after having gone unnoticed for a long time. For
water pumps to work properly, routine maintenance should be carried out on them, as you
would other home appliances. A water pump that works optimally and efficiently, in addition
to spending less to operate, will use less fuel and experience lesser downtime.
Routine Inspections
You need to carry out inspections regularly on your water wells. These inspections can be done quarterly and can help you detect looming issues before they become full-blown problems. Routine
water well inspection will also help you guard against costly pump repairs.
Professional Servicing
In addition to carrying out routine inspections on your pumps, also schedule a professional
servicing on them regularly. This servicing can be done every year, to enable the pump work
optimally. Water pumps are like every other machine which is prone to wears and tears, which
is why servicing them from time to time is important if they are to continue working efficiently.
Well Water Testing
Well water testing will help you see if your pump is working as it should. You can carry out
these tests yourself, however, it is important that a professional does it at least once every year.
When your water is tested, it should be checked for the presence of nitrates, bacteria, and
contaminants. When your water is contaminated, its stresses the water pump, and thus reduces its efficiency
