Submersible pumps are like the heart of a well, ensuring a steady flow of water for various uses. These pumps are sealed and safe to use in water-filled places like wells or tanks, keeping the internal parts protected. However, like any machinery, submersible pumps can face issues affecting their performance. Let's explore ten common problems and how to fix them.
If your pump isn't starting, check if it's properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker is okay. Also, ensure the float switch isn't stuck, stopping the pump from working.
Sometimes, the pressure switch causes the pump to cycle on and off. Adjust it or get professional help.
If the pump is running, but no water comes out, check for a broken part called the impeller or any blockages in the intake. Clean or replace the impeller as needed.
If you notice less water pressure, check the pressure switch. Adjust it and look for any pipe blockages or leaks.
The pump motor might overheat due to heavy use or not enough cooling. Ensure the pump isn't running without water and check the voltage.
Unusual sounds could mean debris or air in the pump. Check for clogs and prime the pump properly to avoid air bubbles.
If your water has sand or bits in it, the well screen might be damaged. Check and replace it to have clean water.
If the pump runs continuously, the pressure switch might be broken, or there could be leaks. Test and replace the pressure switch and check for pipe leaks.
Too much shaking can harm the pump. Look for any problems like parts not aligned well, worn bearings, or a bent shaft. Fix these to reduce shaking.
Protect your pump from sudden power jumps by using a surge protector. It's an easy way to keep your pump safe from electrical harm.
If these steps don't fix the issue, it's best to get help from professionals. In Dubai, Ghaima Group offers excellent mechanical and electrical services for submersible pump repair. With their expertise, your submersible pump will work smoothly again in no time.
