SERVICING YOUR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to do
any service or maintenance.
The design of the “F” Series high temperature pump models is unique and
requires specific knowledge to perform the proper assembly. BJM Pumps
recommends that all electrical service work be performed at the factory or by a
factory trained and certified repair technician, to insure that the materials and
assembly methods meet BJM standards.
MAINTAINING YOUR PUMP
Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to
do any service or maintenance.
Pump should be inspected at regular intervals (At least 2 times per year).
More frequent inspections are required if the pump is used in a harsh environment.
Preventative maintenance should be performed to reduce the chance of premature
failure.
Worn impellers and lip seals should be replaced.
