We at Pump Solutions Australasia would like to remind everyone to take the extra time to learn about pump safety. Water pumps don’t seem like they are dangerous, but they can cause a lot of water damage, personal injury, or even death if not operated properly. We would like to give you some tips on water pump safety. This post is by no means all-inclusive but is intended to remind you of some basics. 1. Always read your owner’s manual. No matter what brand pump you decide to purchase, every company knows how to operate their pumps with the highest degree of safety.
