Energy Efficiency Information Grants - Pump Cavitation
Date Issued:2014-12-17

Pump cavitation is an unwanted problem that occurs when pumps and associated pipelines are poorly designed and configured. Cavitation is extremely costly because it greatly reduces the life of the pump as well as increases the energy (and cost) required to pump water.
