Possible Causes
Continuous exposure to chlorinated or saltwater spray, Poor drainage around pump base, Inadequate protection from weather, Leaks from plumbing onto motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before touching a corroded motor; corrosion can compromise insulation.
- Identify source of moisture: Look for leaks from unions, valves, or the pump housing that may be dripping onto the motor.
- Improve environment: Install a weather‑resistant cover or relocate the Lowara pump to a more protected area while maintaining ventilation.
- Clean and protect: Light surface rust can be cleaned and treated with a suitable protective coating. Do not block ventilation openings.
- Assess severity: If corrosion has reached the terminal box or structural parts, motor replacement is recommended.
