Left Your Pump Sitting All Winter? Here’s How to Get It Ready for Peak Summer Demand

After a quiet winter, summer in Australia means it is time to put your solar water pump back to work. Whether you are relying on it for irrigation, livestock, or home supply, a quick check-up now ensures smooth running during the hottest months ahead. With Waterboy Pumps’ easy DIY setup, you can have your system ready in no time. 

Start by giving your pump a test run. Look for steady flow, clear any debris from the intake, and check hoses and fittings for leaks or wear. Give your solar panels a clean and make sure they are angled for maximum sun exposure. This simple step makes a big difference in performance. 

Because our pumps are designed for straightforward DIY use, you can make most adjustments yourself. It is a good idea to check the rotor and stator and replace them if needed. Do not forget the sacrificial anode. This small but vital part protects your pump from corrosion and helps extend its lifespan. These quick checks keep your system efficient and reliable without the need for a technician.
