3 Storage
3.1 Storage
Goulds Pumps carefully preserves and protects its products for shipment. However, the effective life of
the preservatives applied at the factory can vary from 3 to 18 months depending on the severity of the
environment in which the equipment is stored. This section provides procedures for preparation prior to
storage and maintenance during storage of Goulds' pumps.
These procedures are necessary to protect the precision parts of the pumps. Specific procedures
for storing motors should be obtained from the motor manufacturer. This section is intended to be of gen-
eral assistance to users of Goulds pumps. It shall not modify, amend, and/or otherwise alter the scope of
Goulds Pumps warranty in anyway whatsoever.
3.2 Storage Preparation
Goulds' submersible pumps require proper preparation for storage. The pump shall be considered in
storage when it has been delivered to the job site and is awaiting installation. If a pump has been instal-
led, but is not in regular operation, such as seasonal shutdown or an extended period of time, it is sug-
gested that the pump be operated for at least 15 minutes every two weeks if possible.
3.3 Recommended Storage Procedures
1. Controlled storage facilities should be main tained at an even temperature 10°F or more above
the dew point with relative humidity less than 50% and little or no dust. (If these requirements
cannot be met the pump is to be considered in uncontrolled storage.)
2. For uncontrolled storage periods of six months or less, the pump is to be inspected periodically to
insure that all preservatives are intact.
3. All pipe threads and flanged pipe covers are to be sealed with tape.
4. The pump must not be stored closer than six inches to the ground.
3.4
Preparations for Uncontrolled Long Term Storage
• Storage periods over six months require the preceding uncontrolled storage procedure plus the fol-
lowing:
1. Inspect the assembly and recoat periodically to prevent corrosion.
2. Place ten pounds of moisture absorbing dessicant or five pounds of vapor phase inhibitor crys-
tals near the center of the pump. If the pump is assembled, place an additional one pound in
the discharge nozzle securely fastened to the dis charge flange.
3. Install a moisture indicator near the perimeter of the pump. Cover the pump with 6 mils mini-
mum thickness black polyethylene or equal and seal it with tape. Provide a small ventilation
hole approximately½ inch diameter.
4. Provide a roof or a shed shelter to protect from direct exposure to the elements.
