Why scheduled maintenance
Deep well pumps operate under conditions that can change over time. Monitoring helps identify reductions in pressure or flow, changes in electrical consumption and issues with the motor, cables or panels before faults worsen.
Symptoms that require inspection
- Reduced flow may relate to water level, blockage, wear or leakage.
- Failure to run requires checks of the supply, cable, motor and control panel.
- Increased power consumption, unusual vibration or noise, or sand in the water.
Inspection stages
The guide covers connection and insulation checks, voltage and current measurement, protection device inspection, and testing of pressure, flow, noise and vibration. It also includes motor and cooling checks and system cleaning when required.
Types of maintenance
- Preventive: scheduled checks for early fault detection and performance monitoring.
- Corrective: fault diagnosis, equipment removal and inspection, damaged component replacement and operational testing.
- Comprehensive: inspection of the pump, motor, cables, panels, pipes and control devices.
Looking after the pumping system
Care includes appropriate cable sizing, installation depth and protection, preventing dry running, and monitoring electrical readings, filters and pipework. Inspection intervals should reflect operating hours, application and equipment recommendations, particularly in farms and factories.
