Pump Problems

While pumps can last a long time, they don’t last forever, and there are numerous problems that you might notice during their lifetime. This can include:

• Leaks – never ignore leaks! This can lead to a major problem down the line which can incur hefty repair (or replacement) costs. 
• Noises – pumps aren’t always 100% silent, but abnormal noises are usually a cause for concern. If you notice rumbling or rattling sounds, there might be problems with the impeller and/or pump housing.
• Weak flow – weak liquid flow is a telltale sign that something is wrong with your pump. Although a simple clean may fix this, sometimes you’ll need repairs/replacements to optimise flow.

To prevent or minimise pump problems, we recommend carrying out regular pump maintenance to reduce the need for replacements or repairs.

To Replace Or To Repair?

Whether you need to replace or repair your pumps ultimately depends on your specific situation. While a simple repair might do the trick, a full replacement might sometimes be necessary to fix the issue as a whole.

Repairs are suitable for:

• Preserving existing setups
• Fixing small issues
• Resolving problems quickly

While replacements are best for:

• Fixing extensive damage
• Upgrading setup
• Improving energy efficiency
