BOREWELL PUMP
Borewell pumps stand as silent workhorses, drawing water from the depths below. These essential devices have transformed the way we access and utilize groundwater, playing a pivotal role in sustaining life and supporting various economic activities.
Borewell Pumps:
Functionality: Borewell pumps are specialized devices designed to extract water from underground sources, typically drilled wells or boreholes. They consist of a submersible pump unit that is submerged in the borehole and connected to an electric motor at the surface. As the motor activates, the pump draws water from the depth and pushes it to the surface for various applications.
Types of Borewell Pumps: There are two primary types of borewell pumps: submersible pumps and jet pumps. Submersible pumps are immersed in the water source and push water to the surface, while jet pumps are positioned above ground and use suction to draw water upward.
Uses of Borewell Pumps:
Agriculture: Borewell pumps play a critical role in modern agriculture by providing a reliable source of water for irrigation. Farmers can efficiently water crops, ensuring optimal growth and yield even in areas with unreliable or insufficient rainfall.
Domestic Water Supply: In areas where municipal water supply is limited, borewell pumps serve as a lifeline for domestic water needs. They provide a consistent and independent source of water for households, reducing dependence on external water sources.
Industrial Use: Industries often require large volumes of water for various processes. Borewell pumps are employed to meet these industrial water needs, supporting manufacturing, cooling systems, and other essential operations.
Groundwater Recharge: Borewell pumps can also be utilized to recharge groundwater by injecting excess surface water into the aquifer. This practice helps maintain sustainable water levels and counteracts the depletion of underground water resources.
SOP for Maintenance of the Bore Well Pump
OBJECTIVE
To lay down a procedure for the Maintenance of the Bore well Pump
SCOPE: This SOP applies to bore well Pump
RESPONSIBILITY: Technical Supervisor / Engineer
ACCOUNTABILITY : Sr.Executive / Manager
PROCEDURE
Monthly Maintenance
Clean the contactors with CTC / CRC
Ensure the pump load should be in between 7.5-10 Amps
Ensure no water leakages from pipelines.
Ensure cable glands are tight.
Ensure the earthing, which is connected to the pump, is also connected to the earth grid by checking with the earth manager.
Clean the control panel with an air blower.
Put a Tick mark in the Monthly Check Sheet after the completion of each activity. If it is not O.K. put a cross (X) in Monthly Check Sheet indicating the reason in the remarks column.
Immediately inform the concerned superior if it is not O.K (X) and take necessary corrective action as per the advice.
Any such deviations should be maintained in the Machine History Cord along with necessary corrective action and its complaints thereof.
Yearly Maintenance
Check the valve function by opening & closing and ensure the water is flowing through the valve during the open condition and water should not flow during the closing conditions.
Overhaul the pump.
Put a Tick mark in the Yearly Check Sheet and repeat the above-mentioned procedure.
