YOUR FREE WINTER SURVIVAL CHECKLIST!!!

YOUR FREE WINTER SURVIVAL CHECKLIST...

In order to make your job easier, we are delighted to share a few important pump tips to help you get through the colder months ahead.

KEEP SPARES ON SITE

This may sound obvious, but you would be surprised by how many people don't do this!

Having the right spares on site, means that the interruption to your business is extremely short, not to mention the amount of money you could potentially save on emergency bills.

Things to keep an eye on...

Cracked pipes
Perished or damaged seals
Filters
Lubricant on moving parts

EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

So you have got your spares sorted, what next?

Not only are there huge benefits in having your emergency protocols in place, but making sure they are second nature will mean that breakdowns or interruptions are handled quickly and efficiently, with the minimal amount of disruption and cost.

DEDICATED ENGINEERS

You’ve got your spares and emergency plans in place, but who is actually going to fix the problem?

Whether you’ve got engineers on-site or you outsource your engineers, it's essential to have

a dedicated team who’ll be there when you need them to keep your site up and running.

This is where Cougar Pumps come in!

EXPERTS

In a world of convenience, it can be tempting to go with the quickest, easiest, or cheapest solution.

However, choosing your equipment, machinery and tools, is not something you want to cut corners on.

In the 40+ years that we have been supporting customer sites, we have seen numerous badly selected or inappropriate selections for an application.

The knock-on effect this has on budget and down-time, not to mention the headache, is something we’d like to help you avoid!

THE THREE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING EXPERTS ON YOUR SIDE...

1.SELECT THE BEST EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB

We have often seen sites that are stocked predominantly with one brand of equipment.

While the selections may work, it’s often the case that a mixture of brands would provide a better overall result in terms of cost and reliability.

2. GET THE BEST ADVICE

Sticking to one manufacturer may be convenient, but limiting. Taking independent and unbiased advice can provide you with a much better resolution.

3.PROBLEM SOLVING

Knowing you have the support of specialists with on-site experience is far more reassuring than relying on a single brand who may have little to no on-site experience.

MAINTENANCE

1. REGULAR SERVICING

It is essential to ensure that these are scheduled in your diary.

A regular service can save you thousands on a small fixable problem, which, if left unchecked, could turn into an expensive breakdown.

2. REMEDIAL WORK

Carrying out scheduled remedial work is an easy way to prevent expensive and worrying downtime.

3. INVENTORIES

Since the Covid pandemic and the disruption to supply lines, we have still not returned to reliable or consistent lead times from many manufacturers.

GET THE RIGHT HELP, AT THE RIGHT TIME...

If you are a Manager, it can often feel as if the pressure is on to come up with solutions, manage every situation, and to constantly think about what needs doing.

Having established good relationships with Cougar Pumps means that much of that thinking can be outsourced to us as we are experts in our field.

1. GET ONGOING PROBLEMS ADDRESSED AS SOON AS THEY HAPPEN

Every site will have that one bit of machinery that’s a little bit unreliable or maybe it has a specific knack of operating it.

Consider how much time is taken up annually with sorting these problems out. Challenge us to come up with something more efficient and reliable and address this proverbial drain on your time!

2. ACCEPT HELP

You do not have to struggle on your own. Buying a planned maintenance or service agreement means that we can take on some of your concerns and improve the running of your plant.

Let Cougar Pumps come to your rescue.

3. GET YOUR SELECTION RIGHT, FIRST TIME!

As an example, up to 50% of pump-related energy bills are wasted energy and money due to incorrect pump selection.

Getting help from specialists who aren’t just trying to make a sale, but are personally invested in a job well done, will make life easier for you in the long run.
