Spring break is not just for students; it is the perfect opportunity for education establishments to assess the health of their pump systems while they enjoy a brief pause.
7 Visual Inspections to Conduct
Routine maintenance checks can be made when pump systems are not at full flow. At Dura Pump, we recommend regularly carrying out the necessary visual inspections below. We can do this for you if you need assistance.
- Check for cracks in expansion bellows.
- Inspect for corrosion on pipe work.
- Lubricate bearings, where applicable.
- Examine mechanical seals for leakage.

- Investigate vibrations.
- Listen to the sound of the motors/pump for failing bearings.
