If your pump makes popping noises or sounds like gravel is running through it, that may be a sign of pump cavitation. As Eric Gore, technical director at Central States Industrial, explained in a live demo at PACK EXPO Connects, cavitation is in essence the creation and later collapse of bubbles in a fluid.

Beyond the loud noise, pump cavitation can pit the metal components of your pump and damage pump seals, shortening their life span.
