What if the shaft seal leaks in the open pump?

When there is water leakage in the shaft seal of the open pump, timely measures should be taken to solve it. The technicians of Hunan Tianhong Pump Industry, the manufacturer of the open pump, will introduce you some common causes and solutions to the water leakage in the shaft seal of the open pump, hoping to provide some ideas for you when you don't know what to do about the water leakage in the open pump shaft seal.
1. Check the sealing performance of shaft seal

First of all, to check the sealing performance of the shaft seal. The shaft seal may cause water leakage due to wear, aging or improper installation. You can observe around the shaft seal for obvious cracks or signs of wear. If you find a problem, you need to replace the shaft seal with a new one and make sure it is installed correctly.

2. Check the lubricating oil

The selection and use of lubricating oil will also affect the sealing performance of the shaft seal. Check whether the lubricating oil meets the manufacturer's requirements, and pay attention to whether the lubricating oil needs to be replaced in time. Inappropriate lubricating oil may cause poor sealing of the shaft seal, which may cause water leakage problems.

3. Clean the shaft seal and the surrounding area

Sometimes the water leakage problem may be caused by the blockage of dust, dirt, etc. around the shaft seal. Regularly cleaning the shaft seal and the surrounding area to ensure that no foreign matter is attached can help improve the sealing performance of the shaft seal and reduce the occurrence of water leakage.

4. Adjust the shaft seal fastening bolt

Loosening of fastening bolts is also a common cause of shaft seal leakage. Check whether the fastening bolts of the shaft seal are loose, and use a wrench to properly adjust the strength of the fastening bolts. Ensure that the shaft seal fits tightly after the bolts are tightened to avoid water leakage.

5. Look for other causes of water leakage

If none of the above methods can solve the water leakage problem, it may be necessary to further check other parts of the equipment, such as sealing grooves and gaskets. Sometimes, water leakage problems may be caused by damage or failure of other components. Please find other causes of water leakage in time and take appropriate repair measures.
