Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your pond pump. Start by following the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance. Generally, you should regularly inspect the pump for debris and clean the intake screen to prevent clogging. Submersible pumps may require more frequent cleaning due to their direct exposure to pond sediment. During winter, if your pond is subject to freezing, it’s advisable to remove the pump and store it in a frost-free location to prevent damage.
Additionally, periodically check the electrical connections and cables for wear and tear. Proper maintenance not only extends the life of your pump but also maintains its efficiency and reliability.
