We modified the inlet of our water pump; the pressure is now sufficient, so we don’t need to run the pump – we can rely on the natural pressure

The previous fresh water inlet has been replaced with desalinated water; the pressure is sufficient. If the pump is not operated for a long time, what harm can there be to the pump due to self-pressure? I’d like to ask the experts here

Check whether the temperature of the pump bearing housing is within the allowable range; as long as the temperature does not exceed the limit, it is fine.

Generally, there is no significant hazard, as the water supply pressure is not too high and it will not cause damage to the mechanical seal

Okay, okay, thank you. In this way, we can save around 100,000 yuan in electricity costs over the course of a year

Generally, a cross-line is installed at the pump’s inlet and outlet; one can use this cross-line without it affecting the pump

Modify it and add a cross-line, maybe.

Just remove the pump directly; use a bypass or a jumper to bypass it, and connect it back in when needed

If there is a pump, there must be a motor as well. Even when the pump itself is properly lubricated, the motor isn’t necessarily immune to moisture or similar issues. It’s better to turn on the TV set almost once a month; if it’s left unused for too long, moisture can cause problems!

Remove it directly, use short joints; when in use, just connect it to the pump
