✦ Synopsis

If you've got a p u m p that sounds like it's churning up bricks, then turn it off, d o u b l e c h e c k that it's not s u p p o s e d to, and log in here. Chances are you're experiencing cavitation, w h i c h is basically the formation of bubbles on your impeller, but in the baddest form a bubble can take -w h e n it cob lapses, d a m a g e gets done. I m p e l l e r s suffer the force of tiny 100 000 psi implosions, and y o u r eardrums suffer the racket of a p u m p in distress.
