Nakiso Borehole Drilling has been at the forefront of providing reliable and efficient borehole drilling solutions for years. However, drilling the borehole is just the beginning of the journey towards a sustainable water source. Proper maintenance of borehole pumps is crucial to ensure longevity and reliability. In this article, we'll explore essential tips for maintaining borehole pumps, ensuring they operate efficiently for years to come.
Regular Inspection and Monitoring:
Regular inspection and monitoring of the borehole pump system are fundamental to its longevity. Conduct visual inspections of the pump, motor, and connections to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Additionally, monitor the pump's performance regularly, such as water pressure, flow rate, and power consumption. Any deviations from normal operation should be investigated promptly to prevent further damage.
Keep the Pump Clean:
Maintaining cleanliness around the borehole and pump area is vital for optimal performance. Debris, dirt, and vegetation should be cleared regularly to prevent clogging and obstruction of the pump intake. Clean the pump casing and motor housing periodically to remove dirt and grime that could affect its efficiency.
Check and Maintain Proper Lubrication:
Proper lubrication is essential for reducing friction and prolonging the life of moving parts within the pump. Check the pump's lubrication system regularly and top up lubricants as necessary. Ensure that the lubricants used are compatible with the pump's materials and operating conditions to avoid damage.
Protect Against Overloads and Surges:
Borehole pumps are susceptible to damage from power surges and overloads. Install surge protectors and voltage regulators to safeguard the pump motor from electrical fluctuations. Additionally, consider using soft starters or variable frequency drives (VFDs) to control the pump's starting and stopping, reducing stress on the motor and prolonging its lifespan.
Schedule Routine Maintenance:
Establish a routine maintenance schedule for the borehole pump system, including periodic inspections, lubrication, and component replacements. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance intervals and procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the pump.
Address Issues Promptly:
Address any issues or abnormalities with the borehole pump system promptly to prevent further damage or downtime. Whether it's unusual noises, decreased performance, or leaks, investigate and resolve the issue as soon as possible to avoid costly repairs or replacements.
Invest in Professional Servicing:
While regular maintenance can be performed by the user, investing in professional servicing periodically is recommended. Professional technicians have the expertise and equipment to conduct thorough inspections, identify potential problems, and perform necessary repairs or replacements to ensure the pump's reliability and longevity.
Conclusively, proper maintenance of borehole pumps is essential for ensuring longevity and reliability, ultimately maximizing the return on investment in borehole drilling. By following these essential tips for maintenance, Nakiso Borehole Drilling customers can enjoy a consistent and sustainable water supply for years to come, backed by reliable pump performance. Remember, preventive maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs and downtime, so prioritize regular inspections and servicing to keep your borehole pump system in optimal condition.

Five Facts About Borehole Drilling That You Need To Take Note Of:
1. Know Your Borehole Casings:The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.
2. Borehole Drilling Depth: The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).
3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.
4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying Is Important: Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
5. Know The Risks: The risk of the borehole drilling lies with the property owner. The client will still be liable for the drilling costs irrespective of a borehole yielding water or not.
