What our Experts Think

• Regular Inspection

• Visual Check: Inspect the pump for signs of leaks, corrosion, or other damage. Ensure that all fittings, flanges, and connections are secure.

• Mounting: Ensure the pump is properly mounted and aligned to avoid vibration or operational issues.

• Cleaning

• Exterior Cleaning: Clean the pump’s exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the bronze surface.

• System Flushing: Flush the system periodically to remove sediment or debris that could clog the pump or impair its operation.

• Electrical Components

• Wiring Check: Inspect the power cord and electrical connections for wear, fraying, or signs of overheating.

• Motor Check: Listen for any unusual noises from the motor, as this could indicate a problem with the bearings or internal components.

• Lubrication

• Motor Lubrication: Some circulators require regular lubrication. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the proper lubrication schedule and type of lubricant to use.

• Avoid Over-Lubrication: Ensure not to over-lubricate as this can attract dust and debris, causing wear on the motor or moving parts.

• System Pressure

• Pressure Check: Regularly monitor the system pressure. If the circulator is part of a closed-loop system, make sure the pressure remains within the recommended range for optimal performance.

• Pressure Relief Valve: Ensure the pressure relief valve is functioning properly to avoid over-pressurization.

• Preventive Maintenance

• Monitor Flow Rate: If the pump is part of a hydronic system, ensure that it’s maintaining the required flow rate. Low flow could indicate a blockage or wear in the pump.

• Protect Against Freezing: If the pump is exposed to freezing temperatures, ensure it is properly insulated to avoid freezing and potential damage.

• Replace Worn Parts

• Pump Cartridge: If the pump uses a replaceable cartridge, inspect it periodically for signs of wear or damage and replace it as needed.

• Seals and O-rings: Check for leaks around the pump seals and O-rings. Replace them if they appear worn or damaged to prevent leaks.
