How Pump Cavitation Impacts Equipment Reliability and Operational Efficiency?
Posted by David Cannon on 16th Jun 2026
Imagine a treatment or process plant where a metering or dosing pump suddenly begins making a loud rattling noise during peak operating hours. Operators notice a drop in flow rate, increased vibration, and rising energy consumption. Within a few weeks, the pump requires an unexpected shutdown for repairs, resulting in maintenance costs and operational disruptions. Upon inspection, technicians discover severe pitting and erosion on the impeller, a classic sign of metering pump cavitation.
