Maintaining a deep well submersible pump is important to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Here are some steps to follow for proper maintenance:
Check the water level in the well regularly to ensure the pump is not running dry.
Inspect the pump's electrical connections and wiring for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace or repair any damaged components.
Clean the pump's intake screen regularly to prevent clogging and improve water flow. Use a wire brush or soft cloth to remove debris.
Check the pressure switch and pressure tank regularly to ensure they are functioning properly. Adjust the pressure switch if necessary to maintain proper water pressure.
Lubricate the motor bearings and shaft annually with oil or grease recommended by the manufacturer.
Check the impeller for damage or wear, and replace if necessary. Inspect the motor's cooling system for proper operation and clean it as needed.
Have the pump's performance tested regularly to ensure it is operating at peak efficiency. Consult with a professional well service company for testing and maintenance services.
Keep the well casing and surrounding area free from debris, and ensure the well cap is secure to prevent contamination.
By following these maintenance steps, you can help ensure your deep well submersible pump operates efficiently and lasts for many years.
