If you have noticed a small mound of dirt building from the ground up at the back of your
pump motor, better clear it away before you have a problem. Fire ants searching for warmth from the motor,
will often build up a mound and eventually get inside the exhaust ports of the motor, causing serious damage
or destruction of the motor when they come in contact with the electrical terminals.
Your pool pump motor must have no obstructions around the exhaust or intake vent ports that cool the internal
working of the motor. The motor will normally be warm to the touch but must dispel heat which would other wise shorten
the life of the motor. With cooler weather coming on, make sure to keep the vent ports clear of leaves and debris that could
block the vent ports.
Regular pest control treatments will prevent ants building their mounds near your home. Make your life Simpl today and be bug free tomorrow.
