How Easy Is the Pump to Maintain?

The effort required to keep a particular pump in top running condition will depend on a number of factors, including the simplicity of the piston/valve design, the number of wear parts, and ease of accessibility to components that require regular servicing or cleaning.

Some manufacturers simplify servicing by equipping the pump with a central lubrication system that enables the operator to quickly grease every critical service point. For ease of cleaning, look for a hinged or removable hopper and a hinged discharge manifold that doesn't require special tools for disassembly. To be assured of long equipment life, ask the manufacturer if the pump components are made of high-quality long-wearing materials, such as hard-chromed pump cylinders and forged-steel pistons.
