Clean, well-maintained water pump installation — pressure pump mounted on a concrete pad next to a cistern, with proper plumbing, electrical connections, and a pressure gauge showing good pressure.
Technician inspecting a residential water pump — checking pressure gauge, listening for bearing noise, inspecting electrical connections.

Por Qué Fallan las Bombas en Cabo
Water pumps in Los Cabos face conditions that drastically shorten their lifespan compared to temperate climates:
Sarro por agua dura. Cabo’s high-mineral water (300-600+ TDS) deposits calcium on impellers, reducing flow and forcing the pump to work harder. Scale buildup is the #1 cause of premature pump failure here.
Daño por sedimento. Unfiltered pipa deliveries introduce sand and particulates that wear out seals and impellers. An inlet sock filter on your cistern fill port prevents most of this damage.
Funcionamiento en seco. When cisterns run dry and there’s no low-water cutoff, the pump runs without water — burning out the seal and potentially the motor in minutes. A MirAqua water level sensor with a low-level alarm prevents this entirely.
Problemas eléctricos. Voltage fluctuations and surges during storms damage pump electronics. Proper surge protection and grounding are essential.
Calor. Exposed pumps in direct sun operate at higher temperatures, reducing bearing life and increasing the risk of thermal overload.
Mantenimiento Preventivo
Catching problems early is dramatically cheaper than emergency replacement. A pump that gets annual maintenance typically lasts 5-8 years. One that doesn’t often fails in 2-3.
What we check:
- Pressure output vs. rated capacity (dropping pressure = impeller wear or scale)
- Electrical draw vs. rated amperage (high draw = mechanical resistance)
- Bearing noise and vibration (grinding = bearing failure incoming)
- Seal weep and drip rate (any moisture = seal needs replacement)
- Float valve and pressure switch operation
- Pipe connections for slow leaks
- Strainer and filter condition
- Run-time cycling (short cycling = pressure tank or switch issue)
What we recommend: Annual preventive maintenance for all residential pumps. Semi-annual for high-use properties (vacation rentals, multi-unit) or properties with known hard water. Pair with a cistern cleaning — we often do both in the same visit.
Reparación de Emergencia
Pump died and you have no water pressure? We diagnose and repair or replace on-site. Common emergency issues:
- No water at all — usually a tripped breaker, failed pressure switch, or dry-run burnout
- Low pressure — clogged impeller, scale buildup, or failing motor
- Pump runs continuously — pressure tank bladder failure or leaking check valve
- Noisy/vibrating — bearing failure, cavitation, or loose mounting
We stock common replacement parts and can source pumps from local suppliers for same-day or next-day replacement.
Integración con Sensor
For properties with a MirAqua water level sensor, we can configure low-water pump cutoff alerts — the system warns you (and optionally shuts off the pump) before the cistern runs dry. This single feature can save you $3,000-8,000 in pump replacement costs over the life of the sensor.
