Concerned about getting a water pump? Often, worry can build up because of common myths and misconceptions. To put your concerns aside, it’s best to know more about water pump systems and have your key questions answered. In this guide, we’ll bust common myths about water pumps, helping you to feel reassured and prepared for an installation.
Water Pumps Don’t Require Maintenance
While water pumps are typically low maintenance, that’s not to say they don’t require any maintenance at all. Pump maintenance is important, as it can help your pumps last a long time. Pump maintenance should be carried out by a professional, as these experts can identify any issues and make sure that the key features of a water pump are fully functional.
All Pumps Can Handle Any Liquid
Different water pumps are designed for different purposes, so it’s important to choose one that will suit your needs perfectly. Consider the liquid’s properties, including its temperature, viscosity and corrosiveness to help you find the perfect pump. If you’re concerned about whether a pump might be suitable, it’s best to reach out to the experts for their advice and support.
Common types of water pumps can include:
● Drainage pumps
● Waste water pumps
● Surface water pumps
● Stormwater pumps
● Sump pumps
● Submersible pumps
● Booster pump systems
Larger Pumps Are Better
While it might seem that larger pumps are better than smaller pumps, often this depends on the intended purpose. A pump that is too large for the system can lead to increased energy consumption, which in turn can lead to higher bills. A pump that is too large can also lead to the related components becoming excessively worn, reducing the lifespan of your system.
Noises Coming From My Pump Are Normal
Generally, a water pump should not be making excessive amounts of noise. Modern systems are designed to operate quietly. Listen out for noises becoming steadily louder, as well as rattling sounds, as these can indicate underlying issues with your system. Potential problems that cause noise can include improperly secured equipment and worn bearings. If you’re concerned about any abnormal noises, reach out to local water pump professionals.
The Installation Location Doesn’t Matter
To remain fully operational and work efficiently, pumps will need to be positioned in the right spot. These systems need to be protected from damage, whether caused by improper exposure to flooding or another issue. Damage to the pump can lead to the water pump failing to do its job, as well as potentially expensive repairs. Luckily, water pump installation experts can help you determine the most suitable location, preventing this scenario from occuring.
