The Claustrophobic Upgrade

Tight spaces, poor lighting and heavy gear! It’s not everyone's ideas of fun but our techs braved a confined space this month to swap out a struggling submersible pump before it failed completely.
This month our team tackled a submersible pump replacement in what can only be described as, well not ideal for the squeamish.
Two of our techs suited up and carried out the works under full confined space entry conditions complete with tripod setup, gas monitoring and safety barricades, all in line with Australian standards.
Once the new pump was installed, we ran load testing to make sure everything was operating exactly as it should. After a final inspection, we left the system online, water flowing and tenants none the wiser. Oh and of course we cleaned up, packed out the old gear and left the space spotless.
Is your pump making strange noises or tripping power? These 5 signs could mean it's close to failing here’s what to look for.
A small leak became a $1,200 mistake. Find out how missed pump maintenance led to a full replacement and how you can avoid it.
