Method for preventing water pump from freezing

18 Jun 2019Email

       It is common for water pumps to freeze. Especially in the north, it is easy to freeze in winter. For this situation, we have summarized the following measures to maintain the pump. The following six items are the precautions for the winter water pump. More maintenance is required to prevent the cracking of the water pump and shorten the service life of the pump.

       1. Drain the water in the pump and add water when using it. Prevent the pump from freezing and cracking the pump.

       2. If the pump is frozen, use hot water or boiling water to pour the pump into the ice. Or heat the pump casing.

       3. Use a downhole pump. Put the pump into the well. Generally, the downhole pump is deep from the ground and will not freeze.

       4. Use insulated water pump. Add the insulation to steam or hot water. Icing with a waterproof pump.

       5. Use a non-self-priming centrifugal pump. When using, add water.

       6. Place the pump in a normal temperature environment. Below zero.
