    pump cavitation

    Do you have any pictures to show what the mechanism of failure was? If you have plenty of NPSH then it might be entirely possible that air is being introduced into the system prior to pumping. Do you have any mechanism of air relief?

    VFD Pumps

    A VFD pump is a Variable Frequency Drive pump. It will convert 1 phase to 3 phase typically and some can also act as a soft start depending on the size of the pump. Its used in places where three phase is not available where you need three phase power to power a three phase pump. Normally, you...
