Sump Pumps, run them once a month so the bearings don't seize
 

that's my tip for the day...

if you have a sump pump, run the motor for a few seconds at least once
a month to keep the bearings from seizing up.

I have Pedistal pumps 50- yrs old that run, the pumps have sleeve
brass bearings and cant seize, I do oil the motor bearings.

The motor is sealed with oil. The oil only gets 'GUNKY' if water has got
in. Mine is 41years old and it is fine.
