After struggling for a long time at work, I realized that there had to be something else I could do to make my life a little better. I began doing everything I could to improve workflow while preventing injury, and a friend of mine told me about how to use machinery in a more efficient way. I talked with them about how to make some changes, and it was really neat to see how much more efficient the system could run. I wanted to use this website as a launching point for creating a brighter, more interesting workflow in your place of business.
The wastewater pump plays an important role on your industrial site. It moves sewage through a pressurized pipe system into a gravity manhole. In order for this pump to work correctly over the years, it needs to be maintained in the following ways.
Check for Air Leaks
Every now and then, an air leak can occur within your wastewater pump's system. If this happens, the pump won't be able to effectively propel wastewater to the correct emptying point. You need to get in the habit of checking for these air leaks to ensure your pump functions correctly.
What you'll need for this inspection is a vacuum gauge. Use it to check the fittings, pipe plugs, and suction line of your pump. If there is an air leak in your pump's system, the vacuum gauge will fluctuate rapidly. If this happens to your system, you'll need help from a wastewater pump repair specialist.
Keep Motor Lubricated
The whole reason these industrial pumps are able to move wastewater away from your work sites is because of their heavy-duty motor. To ensure this part works great for many years, it needs to be properly lubricated. You then won't have to worry as much about this motor overheating or breaking down prematurely.
Since there are many lubricants available on the market for pump motors, it's just best to see what the manufacturer recommends. They'll recommend a particular brand and lubricant consistency. It's also a good idea to see how often the manufacturer recommends lubrication, as every wastewater pump motor has different needs.
Have Pump Inspected Annually
Even if there aren't any signs indicating a major problem with your industrial wastewater pump, you should still consider having it inspected annually by a wastewater pump specialist. Then, if any major problems are wrong with your pump that you didn't know about, you can address them before costly damage occurs.
When the specialist comes out, they'll conduct a visual inspection on major parts of the pump first. If there are signs of damage -- such as corrosion -- they may recommend a parts replacement. They'll proceed by running a performance test on the pump to ensure it's working at an efficient, safe rate.
It often goes unnoticed, but the wastewater pump on your industrial site is an extremely important component to keep an eye on. As long as you observe the correct maintenance protocol, it should work great for years and you'll save a lot of money on repairs.
