Centrifugal Pump – Centrifugal pumps are very common in irrigation systems, especially those ranging from 1.5 hp to 30 hp. They pull water from its source and ensure its smooth transfer throughout the system.

Submersible Pump – A submersible pump is positioned entirely underwater. Even the sealed motor is submersed, pushing the water out of its source and to the surface. These pumps are ideal for applications where a lot of water and minimal noise are required.

Booster Pump – Booster pumps are typically a part of highly pressurized irrigation systems. The system may even have more than one booster pump, allowing for continuous water pressure.

Our team is qualified and fully capable of repairing or replacing every type of irrigation pump.

Deep well pumps also known as ‘Submersible’ pumps use a pressure tank that draws water along a single pipe that is connecting the well and the home. These pumps are installed below the waterline in the well. So because they are underground and underwater, must be pulled from the well if there is any kind of repairs that is needed to done. They actually have fewer problems than the type of pumps that are used for shallow wells (Jet pump).

How to troubleshoot your pump and or complete repairs?

1. The deep well (submersible) pump must be removed from the well before it can be repaired.
2. Turn off the power and disconnect switch. Remove the well cap, disconnect the pit less adapter and pull up the pipe, electric cable and pump and any piping associated to it from the well.
3. Visually inspect the pump and then carry out electrical and mechanical tests to find which particular component of the pump is damaged.
4. In a situation where you notice that the pump is dry, it means the pump is actually not well submerged into the well. You will need to add pipe to place the pump deeper into the well.
5. If the mechanical damage is caused by debris in the well, that kind of damage can be fixed by replacing the casing of the pump. And in case if the tail pipe is clogged with debris, it can be freed.
6. In situation whereby the problem is with the impeller. Use a screwdriver to turn the motor to be sure if the impeller turns freely. If that does not happen, open the case of the impeller and remove any form of obstructions. Also check the impeller for cracks if there is any damage to the impeller itself, the whole impeller unit should be replaced.
7. Remove the electric motor cover from where the cable enters the motor. One of the cable wires is connected to the starting capacitor. If when testing the multi-meter and the needle does not jump, or if the meter reads zero resistance, the capacitor itself must be replaced.
8. After all the testing has been done, reassemble the repaired unit and lower the pump and its accompanying pipe back into the well. Ensure the pit-less adapter engages when the pump is in position.
