Irrigation Pump: repair or replace?

June 19, 2018blogGiancarlo Gomez

“Should I repair my irrigation pump, or just replace it?”

This is one of the major questions that homeowners frequently ask when their irrigation pumps break down.  But the cost of purchasing an irrigation pump compared to repairing an existing one can be costly.

Therefore, it is recommended that as soon as your irrigation pump starts to malfunction, you should contact a licensed Irrigation Repair Technician near you.  Your technician will advise you on whether you should repair or replace your irrigation pump.

Warning signs that Your Irrigation Pump Needs Repair

  • Your irrigation pump is not turning on

If your irrigation pump is not turning on, don’t panic. This can result from a tripped circuit breaker. Check your breaker; if it’s tripped just reset it and try again to turn the pump on. If the pump refuses to turn on, then it might be one of two things. Either something is wrong with the pump motor, or the pump wiring, and these are deeper electrical issues that will need professional attention.

 

  • Loud Screeching or Humming Sound

If your pump sounds like an airplane when in operation and causes you severe ear pain, then the motor bearings are getting bad.  Bearings are joints that spin the shafts freely. If the shafts are not spinning freely, the motor bearings need to be changed.

A power surge or overheating can also blow the capacitor. If the capacitor is blown you will hear a humming sound. Not to worry, this is easy to fix.

 

  • Irrigation Pump is Older Than 15 years

The cost of maintaining a very old pump, regardless of the type of irrigation pump, far outweighs the cost of replacing it. If your pump is older than 15 years it will start to breakdown and will need frequent repair. This is when you may want to consider replacing it.

 

  • Loss of water

This is one of the most obvious signs that your irrigation pump needs to be repair. But first, check your pipe valves and pipe lines to make sure that they are not the problem. If you cannot do this yourself; call the technicians.

 

  • Overall Poor Performance

Blockage will cause your irrigation system to perform poorly. Leaves and other types of debris can build up in the system and cause blockage.

 

When to Expect a Replacement?

As mentioned above, if the life of the pump is over 15 years, then you can expect a replacement. Other replacement factors for consideration are major electrical or motor problems.
