Most water pumps in Australia naturally
make noise because of the moving parts. The noise can be more if your pump uses
fuel. However, if you notice a strange noise, your pump could be facing a
problem and it may be a sign that you need to fix it. Here are some tips for
fixing a pump.
Bearings
If your pump is making excess noise, at least one
bearing is likely worn out. The bearings of the pump allow the driveshaft to
pass through the housing of the pump and attach to the impeller. A clicking or
squeaking sound generated by the bearings is a warning sign that they are
wearing and can break any time soon.
Noisy or worn bearings should be replaced to prevent
damage to related components. All water pumps in Australia bearings
will wear over time and will require replacing. The housing of the pump needs
to be disassembled to access the pump bearings. You should refer to your user
manual for the proper replacement should new pump bearings be required.
Fixing
the impeller
Using a filter that is not recommended on the intake
side of the pump can allow debris to enter the housing of the pump. The debris
will damage the impeller and this can cause a lot of noise from the pump when
pumping. If debris enters the pump, you should discontinue using the pump
immediately and try flushing out the whole system.
In some cases, water pumps in Australiamay
have to be opened to remove all the debris inside the housing. It is crucial to
always use an adequate filter on your pump. You also need to check the filter
regularly to keep it clear from blockages and clogs. If you are not sure which
part of the pump is broken, you should hire a professional.
