Almost a decade ago, we shared a lighthearted blog called The Pump Murder Manual. It was based on an old gem of an article titled “Ten Ways to Murder Your Pump” by J.H. Biheller of Worthington Engineered Pumps, Inc. (now Flowserve).
The original piece used dark humor and cartoon illustrations of pumps meeting untimely ends to highlight a serious truth: pumps are often destroyed not by age, but by misuse.
While that tongue-in-cheek list was fun, it’s time we revisit it with practical advice. Today, we’re walking through those same “pump murder” methods—only this time, with GPM’s modern take on how to keep your pumps running longer, safer, and more efficiently.
