Motors & Pump Repairs in Sarasota, FL

Your pool pump is responsible for pushing water through the filter and back into the pool, thereby maintaining the proper circulation of water. If your pool pump is having trouble operating, there are several signs that can help you identify where the problem is and what parts you need to fix it.

There are a lot of contractors and vendors that deal in the world of motor and pumps, SCADA and automation, and electrical services.  But what makes one better than the other?  What makes one stand out among the rest? 

It is not advisable to operate a single motor with a variable frequency drive. While it is technically possible, the disadvantages far outweigh any benefits that you might expect. In a majority of cases, it is less expensive to upgrade to a 3 phase motor for use with a VFD.

The pumping industry was revolutionized with the creation of the vertical pump motor in the early 1920’s. This allowed for electric motors to be attached to the top of a pump, and the impacts were impressive. The installation process was simplified, and because it required fewer parts, was then less expensive. The efficiency of the pump motors increased by 30%, and because vertical pump motors are purpose specific, they are more durable and reliable than their horizontal counterparts. Vertical pump motors are generally classified by their shaft type, either hollow or solid.

Since the very earliest history, people have been using devices for moving water. Efficiently pulling water out of wells has been a problem since agriculture was invented.

If you were to take an informal survey of the pump types in use today, you would probably find that many of them are split case horizontal pumps. These industrial workhorses, while not as flexible as many other designs, have been known to continue to work year after year, even decades, without failure. Let's look at the split case horizontal pumps and what makes them special.

In certain pumping applications, there can be sensitive hazardous conditions. It could be that the environment around the material to be pumped is explosive for one of several reasons. Or the material to be pumped itself could be considered hazardous. In both cases, the situation may call for a particular type of pump, known as an explosion-proof pump. This type of pump is designed to protect both the environment and the material to be transferred from pump related conditions that could cause detonation.

A submersible pump is a particular type of pump that is designed to be submerged in its entirety into the fluid to be lifted. The innovative design avoids many of the problems that other pumping solutions can encounter in a high lift situation. Used in a wide range of applications, submersible pumps can be found pumping everything from drinking water to oil. Let's take a look at submersible pumps and why they can be the ideal solution for many scenarios.
