The Fluid Effects That Kill Pumps

Summary Priming, cavitation and vortices all involve air in a pump and can cause it to fail, sometimes permanently. Liquid pumps can't pump air so they need to be primed (filled) with liquid when started. Cavitation is the formation and collapse of bubbles which damage the impeller. Vortices allow some air into a pump making it less efficient.
