If you're relying on a high-pressure pump to support water transportation activities around a worksite, getting this pump set up correctly is paramount. Then you can get the most out of said pumping solution, as well as reduce performance issues. Here are some pump installation tips that will prove valuable to your own setup. 

Bolt Pump to a Secure Base

When a high-pressure pump runs, you don't want it to be able to move and vibrate. If this activity occurred, the pump's internal components could be negatively affected. You can reduce movement with ease by bolting this pump down on a secure base.

The base will give the pump added structure and keep movement to a minimal. You just need to make sure you get a base that's compatible with your high-pressure pump's size and weight for optimal support moving forward.

Hire a Professional to Handle any Electrical Components 

If you opted to get an electric high-pressure pump so as to save on fuel costs when keeping this pumping system going, it's important to hire an electrician to help you wire this pump accordingly. You don't want to take on this job yourself and risk getting shocked or worse.

A specialty electrician that works with high-pressure pumps regularly can assist, ensuring wires are set up in a code-compliant way and in a manner that makes them easy to service going forward. This professional can also complete an electrical pump setup much faster than you could. 

Test the Pressure Gauge Post-Installation

One of the more important components on your high-pressure pump is the pressure gauge system. You'll use it to monitor performance levels of said pump to make sure it's working within the right parameters. After you get this pump set up, it's a good idea to test the pressure gauge for accuracy.

Then you'll be able to perform proper monitoring steps with this aspect of your pump over the years. If your pump's pressure gauge isn't accurate, you can have a professional come in and either recalibrate it or replace it with a better performing gauge.

High-pressure pumps are going to be key for various work sites, especially those that need to transport water on a consistent basis for various operations. If you take your time with getting one of these pumps set up, it will be a valuable work asset you can rely on for a long time.
