Here are seven common signs that your pump needs professional attention from Specialized Pumps Ltd.
1. Low Water Pressure or Flow
If you notice a sudden drop in water pressure or flow, it could be a sign that something is wrong with your pump’s impeller, a key internal component that moves water. When this happens, your pump has to work much harder to do its job, which can lead to overheating and premature failure. Specialized Pumps Ltd can inspect the impeller and other components to diagnose the issue and restore your pump’s efficiency. Addressing low pressure early can prevent more significant damage down the line.
2. High Energy Bills
Pumps that are working harder than they should will naturally use more energy. If you see a mysterious jump in your electricity bill, it could be a sign of an inefficient pump. A serviceman from Specialized Pumps Ltd can service your pump to get it running efficiently again, saving you money in the long run.
3. Strange Noises
A healthy pump should run quietly. If you start hearing new, unusual sounds—like grinding, screeching, or rattling—it’s a sign that something is wrong. Often, these noises are caused by a buildup of debris or a loose part. Sometimes, the problem is with the bearings, which can be an easy fix if caught early. The team at Specialized Pumps Ltd can quickly pinpoint the source of the noise and provide the necessary repairs.
4. Water Leaks
Seeing water leaking around the pump or noticing that the pump is running constantly can indicate a problem with the seals. Ignoring a leak can lead to water waste and further damage to the pump. A serviceman from Specialized Pumps Ltd can quickly replace a faulty seal to prevent more serious issues.
5. Excessive Vibration
While some vibration is normal, excessive shaking or rattling usually points to a serious problem with the motor. This kind of damage can get worse quickly, potentially leading to total pump failure. It’s best to have your pump inspected by a professional from Specialized Pumps Ltd as soon as you notice this.
6. Burning Smell
If you smell something burning—like plastic or metal—it’s a clear sign of an issue with the pump’s motor. This can be a serious safety hazard, especially with electrical pumps. You should turn the pump off immediately and contact Specialized Pumps Ltd for an emergency inspection and repair.
