VISIT cause downtime. Condition monitoring devices are also useful support tools when commissioning a pump and troubleshooting.

Routine service and maintenance can add years to the lifespan of booster pump systems and minimize the risk of breakdown. Booster pump systems should be serviced by a professional service technician annually to reduce the risk of unexpected breakdown; increase efficiency of the pump; improve building user satisfaction; reduce noise and vibration from the pump; and finally, lower overall maintenance costs.

With proper installation and regular preventive maintenance, the booster pump systems will have a longer life and ensure consistent water pressure for building occupants.

Low water pressure is an indication the booster pump system needs service.

Signs A Booster Pump Needs Service

In addition to regular maintenance, professional service technicians should be called if these issues arise:

• Excessive vibration from the pump

• Excessive noise being created by the pump

• Low water pressure

• No water pressure

Booster Pump Maintenance Checklist

Before carrying out any pump maintenance or visual checks, consult the pump manufacturer’s supply manual. This checklist should be carried out on a monthly basis:

• Visual inspection of the shaft seal for any leakage

• Visual inspection of the pump’s pressure and discharge gauges, any abnormal readings should be assessed

• Check the pump’s foundation to ensure the frame is secure –tighten any loose bolts. If this is a reoccurring problem, it could be a sign of excessive vibration

• Check vital components of the pump for rust or other degradation

Staying A Step Ahead

Most booster pump systems today are equipped with smart pump technology to continually monitor pump performance and alert facility managers to any potential issues.

Additionally, condition monitoring devices provide health guidance and predictive maintenance advice for rotating fixed assets such as pumps and motors. Using predictive analysis, the technology identifies potential problems with pumps or motors before they occur, enhancing system reliability.

Condition monitoring devices periodically monitor system vibration and temperature and allow users to access simple-to-use monitoring tools from iOS or Android mobile devices. This enables operators to understand the current health and historical trends of assets, create maintenance reminders and generate detailed reports. As a result, preventive maintenance can be scheduled before potential issues

• Leaking from piping or pump unit

• Sudden increase in energy bills

SERVICE TIPS:

• Regular service helps keep booster pump systems in good working order and reduces the likelihood of breakdowns.

• Those responsible for the care and ongoing maintenance of a booster pump system should aim for annual service.

• Professional service technicians help ensure a long life for booster pump systems.

• Before carrying out any pump maintenance or visual checks, consult the pump manufacturer’s supply manual.

• Booster pump systems equipped with smart pump technology continually monitor pump performance and alert facility managers to any potential issues.
