Effective maintenance and upkeep of stainless steel fountain pumps are necessary to ensure their normal use. Therefore, the maintenance and upkeep guidelines for stainless steel fountain pumps are as follows.
Maintenance of stainless steel fountain pump and its maintenance methods
1. Check for any looseness in the stainless steel fountain pump, pipelines, and joints.
2. Add bearing lubricating oil into the bearing body, and observe that the oil level is at the centerline of the oil gauge. The lubricating oil should be replaced or replenished in a timely manner.
3. If the stainless steel fountain pump is not used for a long time, it is necessary to disassemble the pump completely, dry off the water, apply grease to the rotating parts and joints, and store them properly.
4. Close the gate valve, outlet pressure gauge, and inlet vacuum gauge of the water outlet pipeline.
5. Tap the motor and try to see if the motor direction is correct. Recommended reading: Fountain pump model and brand
6. Start the motor, when the stainless steel fountain pump is running normally, open the outlet pressure gauge and inlet vacuum pump, gradually open the gate valve according to the appropriate pressure displayed, and check the motor load condition at the same time.
7. Try to control the flow rate and head of the stainless steel water pump within the range indicated on the label to ensure that the stainless steel fountain pump operates at the highest efficiency point, in order to achieve the maximum energy-saving effect.
8. During the operation of the stainless steel fountain pump, the bearing temperature should not exceed 35C of the ambient temperature, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 80C.
9. If any abnormal sound is found in the stainless steel fountain pump, it should be stopped immediately to check the cause.
10. When the stainless steel fountain pump needs to be stopped, first close the gate valve and pressure gauge, and then stop the motor.
11. The stainless steel fountain pump needs to change the lubricating oil after 100 hours of operation within the first month, and then every 500 hours thereafter.
12. Regularly adjust the packing gland to ensure normal dripping inside the packing chamber (preferably in droplets).
13. Regularly check the wear of the shaft sleeve, and replace it promptly if there is significant wear.
14. When using the stainless steel fountain pump in the cold winter season, after parking, the pump body needs to be lifted out of the water surface without waterproofing to prevent freezing and cracking.
