Signs It’s Time to Rebuild Or Replace Your Vacuum Pump

Coleman Vacuum Systems | Logo
Has your Vacuum Truck Pump lost its pop and durability? Are there strange noises coming from inside the housing? Perhaps it’s time for a rebuild or even a new vacuum pump.


Signs of a failing pump include loss of vacuum, loud bearing noises and worn vanes.

There are inspection holes on the side of the vacuum pump where you can check vane wear and determine if it’s time to replace them, You want to replace them before they get too short and snap off.

Signs of failure include cupped rather than straight vanes and the time it takes for the pump to draw vacuum. Also, checking your owner’s manual for suggested maintenance and repair is a good practice.




Different Pumps Have Different Rules

If it’s time for a rebuild, look for a kit with the necessary gaskets, seals, vanes and bearings to get the job done at ColemanVac.com.

Note: Not every pump can be rebuilt.

The thing to look for when you’re rebuilding a pump is if there’s any washboarding in the main housing. In that case, you want to bore the pump out. Say you’re running at a low rpm and the vanes begin to bounce inside the pump; it’s like ripples in the river. The vane will jump across that washboarding, and when that happens you will lose performance. You need to make that housing a smooth, round bore again before you put the rebuild kit in there. This requires a machine shop such as Coleman Vacuum Systems Inc. Located in Suffolk County Long Island.

Rotary vane pumps are easily rebuilt, and with proper care can last for decades.



Need A Fresh Start With A New Pump?

Like an engine cylinder, the bore can only go to a maximum diameter, and if it’s washboarded or worn beyond the point of that maximum diameter, you need to replace the pump.

If you’ve got a pump that’s 20 years old, some of the other parts also will begin to wear out. With a new pump you’re starting out fresh.

When deciding on a new pump, performance and technology are two factors to consider.

It may be a cantered rotor versus a straight rotor, maybe a different type of check valve.



Perhaps you’ve expanded your service offerings & need more vacuum.

If you’re pumping septic tanks for a short period of time, a naturally air-cooled pump will work just fine. But if you’re pumping heavier materials over longer distances or to higher elevations you might consider upgrading to a fan- or liquid-cooled pump.

That smaller pump might not be able to handle the job as well.
