How Do You Know If Your Pump Station Is Being Serviced Correctly?

#1: Check operation of non-return valves

This is to ensure they’re not letting the waste return/recirculate back into the pump station.

#2: Raise and clean pumps

This is to check the condition of the pump and remove any build up or blockages in the volute/impeller. Also remember to check couplings and guide rail operation so in the event of a breakdown the pumps can still be removed easily.

#3: Check and clear blockages were possible

This is to minimise chances of future blockages within the pump station.

#4: Check mechanical seal for leaks

This protects the motor from water ingress so checking this gives an early warning if there is any failure occurring.

#5: Physical check of control panel condition, switches and earthing

This ensures the system is safe to operate and is in good working order.

#6: Cabling connections

Ensuring there is no risk of fire or overheating.

#7: Check motor electrical condition

Electrical check on a motor to check the windings and insulation of the pump.

#8: Check level operations

This ensures they are set to the correct level and the automatic level function of the pump station is working.

#9: Check the condition of all pipework and manifolds

This is to ensure there is no leaking pipework and the integrity of it is still maintained.

#10: Check the overall condition of the system as a whole

Ensuring the tank and safety of the system can operate as it should do and to its optimum.
