Water Pump Repairs, Replacement & Installations Waiheke
A water pump has become a necessity in every household to ensure a steady flow of water for your day-to-day purposes. The purpose of water pumps is not only to pump water from one place to another but also to eliminate downtime associated with heavy rains. As there are plenty of varieties of water pumps available, it can be quite confusing to choose the one appropriate for your household needs. Our team at Waiheke plumbers is familiar with all the latest technologies, standard techniques and is well equipped with relevant tools to get the job done competently. So make sure you consult with our plumbing specialists to suggest a water pump that best serves your needs at home.
Water pump replacement
Depending on the model and how often it is maintained, a water pump may last 10 to 15 years. With regular maintenance and proper care, a water pump can last more than 20 years. Unless there is major damage to the water pump, just replacing that particular part can fix the problem. However, if the job is more extensive, the entire system must be replaced. Pump bearings, motor bearings, and the pump’s rotary vanes that move water get worn out eventually causing significant damage to the system. In addition to replacing the water pump, our team will ensure that the water system is sanitized and flushed so that no contaminants or microscopic organisms remain in the water.
Symptoms of a faulty water pump
Unusual or strange sounds
Sometimes when you turn on your faucet you hear a sputtering or spitting sound as air mixes with water. This is a sure sign that there is some kind of leak in the system which is letting out water and letting in air through the pin holes or cracks.
Low water pressure
The heavy demand on a pump that's too small might cause low-pressure issues. So it is crucial to choose a water pump that is sized appropriately for your home, which is determined by factors such as the amount of water used and how many toilets and faucets are present.
The decline in water quality
A change in the quality of water is a sure indication of a failing water pump. Dirt, hard water minerals, and other impurities can reduce the flow of water or even stop the working of the pump completely. If you notice dirty or smelly water from the faucets, do take immediate actions to fix it at the earliest to prevent health hazards to you and your your family
Pumping sand or sediment
If you notice any discoloration or sand in your water, it means that your water pump isn't properly filtering debris from the well water. Sand or sediment can severely harm your water pump as it acts as an abrasive that gradually damages the bearings and other components of the pump assembly reducing its lifespan.
The water pump cycles on and off constantly
The water pump turning on and off is a major sign of leakage in the system or the faucets. However, it can also be due to the malfunctioning of check valves which are designed to stop water from flowing back to the well.
No water
The primary function of the water pump is to pump the water, but when it starts to fail it stops pumping water and makes things worse. It may be due to poor pulling of water from the well or severe leakage in the pipes.
