3 Pump Service Tips for Summer

1. Clean Out the Fans

If your water pump’s motor is having trouble cooling, its fans are most likely ridden with dust, grime, and dirt from the previous season. To clean the cooling fan, take a dry cloth and wipe off excess dirt, then take a dustpan brush and sweep away small particles in hard-to-reach areas. If this doesn’t solve the issue, you might have a more serious problem in your hands. Call a professional and have them inspect the motor to determine the cause of the overheating.

2. Use an Anti-Corrosion Product

After being exposed to the wet winter months, your water pump’s steel parts will now be subjected to heat and dust, which can expedite the corrosion process. Applying an anti-corrosion product to all your pump’s exposed steel components should grant it ample protection from extreme changes in temperature. Periodically using an anti-corrosion product will also prevent premature rusting, so you won’t have to repair or replace the parts as often.

3. Look Out for Drips & Leaks

Leaks and drips may indicate a much larger underlying problem. If you notice puddles or similar signs of leaks, call a professional to service your water pump immediately. Neglecting to address seemingly small signs of wear and tear can lead to costly repairs and replacements down the line.

To ensure you have access to a sufficient supply of clean water throughout the summer, invest in preventive maintenance year-round.
