Motor and System Upgrades to Increase Efficiency and an Overall Lifetime of Savings

Planned Maintenance Programs (PMPs) can ensure that all pump system components are in good working order. Shafts can become misaligned, belts or bearings worn, and dirt and debris can enter the motor or control housing – all of which can result in higher energy use and accelerated component wear, increasing the likelihood of system failure, usually when you least expect it. Regular PMP inspections can identify problems and provide solutions to help ensure continual system reliability and efficiency.

What is a Submersible Pump?

A submersible pump is an air-tight sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between pump and fluid surface. A submersible pump never requires priming as the whole assembly is submerged in the fluid. Submersible pumps are very efficient because they spend less energy moving water into the pump, the water pressure pushes the water into a submersible pump, thus “saving” a lot of the pump’s energy. Here are some before and after pictures of locations that PumpMan SoCal has serviced.
