Inspection & Preventive Maintenance Procedures for the Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pump The Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pumps provides optimal performance when used to pump crystal-clear groundwater from a 2” monitoring well with the pump placed well off the bottom of the well and within the screened interval of the well casing. Say wha t? How many times is the pump actually used in the environmental consulting arena under all, or even any, of these conditions? That’s right – rarely. That’s why proper use, care, and maintenance of the pump are vital to ensure a reasonable service life from a significant capital investment. The Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pump depends upon water flowing past the pump stator housing and water within the pump stator housing to keep the bearings cool and the motor windings from sw elling due to heat build-up. Routine performance of the following procedures will help prolong the life of the pump and provide for optimum performance. We have provided the following photographs and procedures to assist you in either the care and maintenance of your pump or of one of EEI’s rental pumps that you may use on a long-term project. If necessary, refer to the pump schematic provided at the end of these procedures for part name or assembly order. Use a small blade screwdriver to remove the pump screen set screw. Grasp the pump firmly and gently slide the screen up and off of the pump. Be careful not to cut or score the pump motor lead in the process. If necessary, create a little slack in the motor lead by pushing the motor lead down behind the screen.

Inspection & Preventive Maintenance Procedures for the
Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pump
The Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pumps provides optimal performance when
used to pump crystal-clear groundwater from a 2” monitoring well with the pump
placed well off the bottom of the well and within the screened interval of the wellcasing. Say what? How many times is the pump actually used in the environmental
consulting arena under all, or even any, of these conditions? That’s right – rarely.
That’s why proper use, care, and maintenance of the pump are vital to ensure a
reasonable service life from a significant capital investment.
The Grundfos Redi-Flo 2 Submersible Pump depends upon water flowing past the
pump stator housing and water within the pump stator housing to keep the bearings
cool and the motor windings from swelling due to heat build-up. Routine
performance of the following procedures will help prolong the life of the pump and
provide for optimum performance.
