Don’t drop your pump in the mud

May 13, 2021


When using a pump to extract groundwater it can be easy to forget the depth of the bore and drop the pump inlet into the fine sediment at the bottom of the bore. Doing this will coat the bore in mud and will likely clog the inlet forcing the pump to overheat.

Make sure you know the depth of the bore and take care in lowering your pump to the required depth.
