Perform Regular Visual Inspections
Check for leaks, cracks, or loose fittings. Look for wear on hoses, diaphragms, seals, and gaskets. Early detection prevents costly breakdowns.
Lubricate According to the Manual
Follow the pump’s specific lubrication schedule. Use only recommended lubricants. Proper lubrication reduces friction and prevents premature wear.
Monitor Suction and Discharge Lines
Keep suction lines airtight and free of obstructions. Ensure discharge hoses are not kinked or blocked. Flow issues often start in the lines—not the pump.
Replace Wear Parts Proactively
Diaphragms, valves, seals, and o-rings should be replaced before they fail. Keep a small stock of common spare parts for emergency needs.
Keep the Pump Clean
Remove debris from pump housings and strainers. Rinse mud, sludge, or corrosive materials off external surfaces. Clean pumps run cooler and last longer.
Check Alignment and Mounting
Ensure the pump is securely mounted and properly aligned. Misalignment can cause vibration, noise, and damage over time.
Track Pump Performance
Record flow rates, pressure levels, and energy use.Drops in performance usually indicate a blockage, worn diaphragm, or air leak.
Avoid Running the Pump Dry
Dry running can damage diaphragms, seals, and other internal components. Use sensors or manual checks to ensure adequate fluid supply.
Use Genuine Wastecorp Parts
OEM parts ensure long-term reliability and correct fit. Improper substitutes may lead to failures or void warranties.
