“Today's environmental tip: Proper maintenance reduces waste! Keep your appliances in good working order and follow the manufacturer's suggestions for operation and maintenance. Shop for products with high consumer satisfaction and fewer breakdowns. If kept in good working order, your appliances should last a long time and not end up as waste before their time.”

Today’s tip was remarkably relevant. On Pioneer’s Forums I’ve remarked numerous times that doing sump pump maintenance will save your money in the long run. I urged people to pick a time when their pump’s not running much, like the dead of winter, but more importantly before the spring.
I’m busy, as is anyone who’s working in today’s society, so it’s easy to get behind on maintenance for anything (I myself will own up to the fact that I’m over 5k miles on my next oil change…which I need to put on my calendar). But like with all maintenance it’s important to do.
Maintaining your sump pump or dehumidifier regularly (once a year) will increase the life span of the machine. It won’t make your machine immortal, but it’ll help keep it running smoothly and costing you less than a pump that goes without maintenance and breaks down often.

What would make it easier for you to remember to do a yearly maintenance?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’ll share mine in the comments.

Like I said, sometimes I space out on my maintenances. My car company sends me reminder cards in the mail, sometimes that works...but something that I've been doing for myself is a "designated day" to fix/repair/maintain
We actively call people at Pioneer to remind them about their pump's status and to see when/if they want to book something. We're never pushy, but phone reminders do help it seems.
What do you folks think?
