The Hidden Costs of Skipping Pump Maintenance
Skipping routine pump maintenance may seem like a cost-saving measure in the short term; however, this often leads to expensive repairs. In our latest blog, we explore the hidden costs of neglecting pump maintenance and how regular servicing with Campion Pumps can prevent serious issues in the long run.
The Cost of Skipping Pump Maintenance
The longer a pump system runs without maintenance, the greater the risk of a sudden failure – it’s as simple as that. Small issues often grow into expensive repairs – so catching these problems early is key. A report by McKinsey & Company has found that predictive maintenance has the potential to extend asset life by up to 40%.
At Campion Pumps we specialise in pump maintenance and servicing and having been awarded ‘Service Provider of the Year 2022’ by Small Firms Association, we set the standard when it comes to pump maintenance and preventative servicing. We provide customised maintenance programmes to ensure optimal efficiency and maximum pump life.
How Regular Maintenance Saves You Money
As mentioned, the main benefit of regular maintenance is cost savings. A recent study conducted by Infraspeak highlighted that “predictive maintenance yields savings of 30-40% compared to reactive maintenance”. Identifying potential issues before they escalate prevents expensive outlays on repair and/or replacement. Skipping a scheduled maintenance here and there could easily run the risk of this.
On the opposite side of the same coin, is the increased efficiency that you get from a regularly serviced pump. Well maintained pumps work more efficiently and reduce energy consumption, thus reducing your overall carbon footprint and contributing to a greener environment. Regular servicing also ensures optimal performance which can lead to savings on operational costs.
What Are the Risks of Skipping Maintenance?
1. Environmental & Health Hazards
Ignoring pump maintenance can lead to hazardous issues. For example, failed water pumps and equipment can lead to contamination issues which in turn pose huge risks to the environment and community health. At Campion Pumps, we provide sustainable clean water and wastewater solutions that can minimise or remove the risks associated with contamination.
2. Legal Compliance
Within certain industries, maintaining equipment is a legal requirement. Failure to comply can lead to regulatory violations and/or fines. Keeping your pumps serviced ensures compliance with industry standards and with Campion Pumps, we can help you stay compliant with the latest legal requirements.
3. Operational downtime
Beyond compliance, unmaintained pumps or water system failures can cause significant operational downtime. A breakdown can disrupt production lines, impact service delivery in hotels, or create costly delays in other industries. Regular servicing helps prevent unexpected failures, ensuring seamless operations and business continuity.
