Daily maintenance of sewage pump

A sewage pump is a type of pump used to remove water accumulated in collection tanks, commonly found in home basements. If the basement is below ground level, water may enter through drainage pipes around the basement waterproofing system or due to rain or natural groundwater. Sewage pumps are used in areas where basement flooding frequently occurs, as well as to address dampness issues when the groundwater level is higher than the house foundation. The sewage pump transports water from the house to places without problems, such as municipal storm drains or dry wells. In older installations, the pump might discharge into the sewer. Sewage pump systems are also used in industrial and commercial applications to control surface soil issues related to the groundwater level. Lacking water or periodic high water levels can cause the ground to become unstable due to water saturation. As long as the pump is functioning, the surface soil remains stable. These sewage pits are typically ten feet deep or more, lined with corrugated metal pipes, and have perforations or drainage holes throughout the entire pipe.

The maintenance of sewage pumps involves checking and cleaning the pump to remove dirt, gravel, sand, and other debris. This improves efficiency and extends the pump’s lifespan. These obstructions can also reduce the pump’s ability to empty the oil sump, causing it to overflow. The check valve may also be clogged by debris. Sewage pumps are primarily used for conveying urban wastewater, feces, or liquids containing fibers, paper scraps, and other solid particles. The temperature of the conveyed medium is typically no higher than 80°℃. Due to the presence of easily entangled or aggregated fibrous materials in the conveyed medium, the pump’s flow path is prone to blockage. Once blocked, the pump cannot function properly, and may even burn out the motor, leading to poor drainage. This has serious impacts on urban life and environmental protection. Therefore, resistance to blockage and reliability are crucial factors in evaluating the quality of sewage pumps.
