Year-End Water System Maintenance: Don’t Miss Out!

Murphy’s Law dictates that your water system is liable to break down at the worst possible moment. Like many systems in your home or business, it’s important to do some year-end maintenance on your water pump or filter - especially if you are expecting a spike in use over the holiday period.

However, it’s easy for these types of regular maintenance jobs to get away from us. Life is busy and with that in mind, Watertech offers year-end maintenance services that will take care of the more in-depth servicing required of your water systems. 

From pumps to filters, our experienced team will come to you to thoroughly vet the condition of your system to ensure it carries you through to the New Year without any issues. 

In this blog post, we’ll give you a rundown of the importance of year-end maintenance for your water system. We’ll also run through what our team covers when we service your water systems, allowing you to make the best choice for your system and your wallet heading into the new year.

Why Perform Year-End Water System Maintenance?

Preserves Water Quality

Aotearoa is known for many things. Pristine landscapes, abundant natural resources, and high-quality water. That said, municipal and rural water systems can test even the cleanest water sources.

Year-end maintenance ensures your system is inspected thoroughly, including the cleaning of water tanks, pipes and filtration systems. Regular cleaning eliminates accumulated sediments, contaminants, or potential bacteria growing in the hidden bends of the pipes. This means your water stays safe and pure for regular use.

Prevents Costly Repairs

Most doctors recommend getting an annual physical to catch any health problems before they progress. The same goes for car maintenance: regular servicing allows you to catch and deal with mechanical issues before they turn into failures.

Your water system care does the same thing. Year-end inspections help identify and address minor issues before they can escalate into costly problems. Leaks, corrosion, and worn-out components plague neglected water systems, which can stress your wallet down the line.

Conserves Water

Water conservation has become more important than ever. Especially in a country with as much natural beauty as New Zealand. Not to mention, conserved water lessens the amount you pay on your water bill each month.

A well-maintained water system contributes to conserving water. Leaks get identified and fixed quickly, while sediment or rust is cleared from the system before it can result in blocked pipes or burst fixtures.

Extends the System’s Lifespan

Perhaps most importantly, regular maintenance ensures your water system will last for as long as possible. Rather than being forced to replace your entire system when something breaks, you can stay on top of small issues and tackle them as they crop up.

Water system installations are a great investment, and simple component replacements are an efficient way to maintain your investment so you don’t have to deal with the inconvenience and disruption of removing and re-installing your system.

The Simplicity of Maintenance Services

We recommend completing a visual inspection every few months to ensure you’re on top of your water system’s condition. A more in-depth service is required annually to keep your system in tip-top shape. Much like your vehicle, there are a lot of moving parts that might fail you at the least convenient moment without regular check-ins.

Watertech Plus services water pumps and filters for residential and commercial premises, offering an annual check-up to keep your system humming smoothly. Some of the things we cover when completing your water system care include:

  •       Mounting points. These are the points where your system is attached to the wall or floor. Over time, these can rust from moisture exposure, presenting the risk of contamination or failure. We check and replace these as needed.
  •       Mechanical seals. Mechanical seals are of the utmost importance for residential and commercial water systems. They keep water flowing freely, ensuring the water pressure is up to scratch and there are no damaging leaks. Broken seals can wreak havoc, so we check them out and replace them when we notice significant wear.
  •       Filters. Filters are a vital part of any water system. They’re responsible for keeping dangerous contaminants out of the water, meaning they can become saturated over time. These need to be replaced to keep your water safe.
  •       Water quality. The water moving through your system is like blood moving through a body: it can tell us a lot about its carrier.
  •       Motor inspection. Like your car, the motor in your water system keeps everything moving. If the motor fails, the entire system fails, so we inspect motors for signs of mechanical wear. It’s much cheaper to replace a small component than an entire motor.

In summary, the end of the year is a great opportunity for you to take care of this vital maintenance. Sit back and let the experts in water system care cross this task off your list, ensuring you can walk into 2024 knowing your water system isn’t going anywhere.
