One common cause of pump failure is cavitation, which occurs when air bubbles form in the liquid being pumped and then collapse, causing damage to the pump's components. Ensuring proper pump selection, operating conditions, and regular maintenance can help prevent this issue.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is cavitation in pumps? Cavitation is the formation of air bubbles in liquid, which can lead to significant damage when they collapse inside the pump.
  2. How can I prevent pump failure? Prevent pump failure by ensuring proper selection, maintaining optimal operating conditions, and performing regular maintenance checks.
  3. What are the signs of pump failure? Signs of pump failure include unusual noises, vibration, decreased pressure, or leaks around the pump.
  4. What maintenance is required for pumps? Regular maintenance should include checking seals, bearings, and lubricants, and ensuring there are no blockages in the pump system.
