In this post, we are going to explain what do you need to fix borehole pumps problems in a construction site.
Basically a couple of things: a Megger and 30 yeas of experience in submersible pumps.
Construction sites are tough places to work. Tough place, tough people, tough work conditions.
Everyone wants the job done quickly and in the cheapest way possible, so in the end a lot of problems appear and you have to call a professional.
Let’s talk about pumps:
Pumps are constantly installed, removed, transported from a building site to another, from a city to another,
so it’s very common to produce damages.
Many times, the damage is not visible and you have to install the pump in the borehole quickly,
so it happens lot of time that after to have the job done, you start the pump and a interruptor trips.
Bad issue…
Call the crane, remove the pump from the well, bring a new one, nobody knows the reason of the problem, no time to understand the problem…
so it’s very easy to waste time, money, calm.
Our job, has professional in submersible pumps and controllers, is to solve every problem in the quickest, cheapest and more professional way,
so before to choose the pump, make the installation and call the crane, we execute an electrical test on the motor to check insulation and resistance.
If we detect a failure, we look for the problem:
Most of the times the problem is a bad cable junction. I see daily a lot of scary submersible cable junctions…for this reason I wrote this post:

sometimes the problem can be a damage in the cable, occurred during the many installations or the transport
It’s a very easy problem to solve, but a VERY difficult problem to discover if you don’t have many years of experience…
Sometimes the problem is so difficult to find, that only a real PRO can save you from buying a brand new 25 HP motor, like in the link below
We could buy a new plug cable and solve the problem in a very brillant way
so the customer saved money for a new motor, waste of time to receive in the construction site the new motor,
waste of time installing a motor shorted to ground, waste of time calling a crane to REMOVE the shorted to ground pump that produced that weird tripping of the interruptor every 20 min…
Now, in the end, you have a bunch of very good reason to call a professional to install your borehole pumps in a building site.
