🛠️ How Baby Wipes Cause Hidden Pump Failures 🛠️   At our #FortWorth shop, we recently worked on a #submersiblesewagepump clogged by baby wipes—a common issue. But beyond clogging, baby wipes can lead to another major problem.   Wipes can build up between the impeller and seal housing and wrap around the spring assembly, which can lead to water damage and costly repairs. This spring keeps constant pressure on the two seal faces, preventing water from leaking into the motor housing.   A way to prevent this is by regularly pulling #pumps and clearing debris. Even if the pump isn’t fully clogged, debris buildup inside can cause serious damage over time. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs.   #SmithPumpCo #SewagePumps #Maintenance #PumpIssues #FortWorthShop #WaterInfrastructure #BabyWipes
