Cavitation is a common problem for centrifugal pumps. If you hear strange noises coming from your pump there’s a good chance cavitation is the issue. But what exactly is cavitation? And how can you go about preventing it? Read on to find out.

To select the pump which will best suit your purposes, you need to know your pressure requirements: How much pressure do you need to generate in order to transfer a volume of fluid from point A to point B?

Knowing how your pump sounds when it's running healthy can save you a lot of money in the future. Every pump will make a “healthy” free flowing sound as a medium is passed through it unimpeded.

Making Sure Your Pump Works

If your pump has low flow or head pressure, or is performing erratically, you need to find out what the issue is quickly. One common problem is that a pump is not receiving the right amount of power.

Have you serviced your pump recently? Replacing a pump can be expensive, time consuming, and, let's face it, irritating! At Global Pumps we encourage our customers to have their pumps serviced regularly in order to minimise the risk of breakdown, saving them a fortune in replacement costs.
