As summer approaches, facilities and staff are extremely busy. Preventive measures often take a back seat to day-to-day operations. Here is a helpful reminder to take a moment and assess your maintenance programs.
Try to schedule regular inspections to insure the health and performance of your systems and equipment. A pump system can present several indicators something has changed. Here are just a few of those indicators.
- Increases in sump liquid level
- Decreases in flow rate
- Pressure changes
- Pumps running more frequently
- Pumps running longer than usual
Information from cycle counters and elapsed time meters can help gauge operating conditions and system efficiency and alert you of any changes occurring in the system. Cleaning flow sensors and identifying and correcting flow restriction can insure optimum fitness and promote longevity as well.
