For farmers, households, and industries across India, a borewell submersible pump is more than just a piece of equipment. It is a lifeline for a reliable water supply. But like any hardworking machine, it needs proper care to perform efficiently year after year. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs, sudden breakdowns, and even complete pump failure.

At Aqua Group, we have been manufacturing and servicing borewell submersible pumps for decades, and we know exactly what it takes to keep them running smoothly. Here’s a simple yet effective guide to help you maintain your borewell submersible pump for maximum performance and long life.

1. Schedule Regular Inspections
Prevention is always better than cure. A regular inspection schedule, at least once every 6 months, helps detect early signs of wear, electrical issues, or minor leaks before they become expensive problems. Look for changes in pump noise, vibration, or water discharge levels, as these can indicate issues with bush bearings, impellers, thrust bearing or motor windings.

2. Check Power Supply and Wiring
A borewell submersible pump’s motor relies on a stable power supply. Fluctuations in supply or improper wiring can cause overheating or burnouts. Always ensure:

• The control panel is functioning correctly.
• Cables are free from cuts or insulation damage.
• Earthing is proper to prevent short circuits.

If you use Aqua Group’s Aquatex control panels, they come with built-in protections like overload relays, Dry run protection and voltage monitoring to safeguard your investment.

3. Maintain Water Quality
While your borewell pump is designed to handle underground water, excess encrustation, high sand content or silt can cause rapid wear and tear on internal pump components. Installing a suitable strainer or filter can significantly extend pump life. If the borewell water has the following issues, frequent maintenance will be required.

4. Lubrication and Cooling
Our borewell submersible pumps are designed with large Journal bearings that don’t require regular lubrication. However, cooling is essential, especially for submersible pumps where water acts as the coolant. Running the pump dry, even for a short period, can cause irreparable damage. Ensure that water level is maintained before switching on the pump by using a suitable dry run preventer in the control panel.

5. Use Genuine Spare Parts
When repairs are needed, using original manufacturer-approved spare parts is critical. Generic or substandard components may be cheaper upfront but can drastically reduce the pump’s lifespan and performance. Aqua Group’s genuine spares are engineered to match your pump’s original specifications.

6. Engage Trained Technicians
DIY repairs might be tempting, but borewell submersible pumps are precision-engineered machines. Poorly executed repairs can lead to efficiency loss or even complete pump failure. Always opt for certified service technicians. Aqua Group’s Dealer network spans across India to provide expert support when you need it.

Signs Your Borewell Submersible Pump Needs Immediate Attention

• Reduced water discharge despite normal running time
• Unusual noise or vibration during operation
• Frequent motor tripping
• Abnormal electrical current

If you notice any of these, stop using the pump immediately and seek professional help.
