Cavitation is an effect. It is caused by gas bubbles forming in water adjacent to a fast moving propeller blade.

What should you do if the top of the sand filter and the fingers at the bottom have both been replaced but there is still sand in the pool and you have already tried backwashing?

Many people mistake "mustard algae" as sand in their pool. Does the sand briefly disappear when you run a pool brush over it? Mustard algae resettles quickly and looks very much like filter sand. We have helped many customers with this problem. Also, if there is truly sand in the pool and you have replaced the laterals, check for any leakage of air around the filter. You may hear or see cavation in the pump when it is shut off.


Explain the effect of cavitation on propeller blades?

The BLADES ON THE IMPELLER GATHER BUBBLES AND POP. THE POP OF THE BUBBLES BREAK AND INDENT THE IMPELLER AND GUIDEVANE THAT HELPS THE WATER OR FLUID GO FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE IMPELLER TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE IMPELLER. THE SOUND OF CAVITATION IS LIKE PUMPING GRAVEL THROUGH THE VOLUTE OR CASE. IF THE PUMP IS CAVITATING YOU CAN SLOWING CLOSE A BALL VALVE ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE PUMP ON A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND THE GRAVEL NOISE WILL GO AWAY AND YOU KNOW THE PUMP IS CAVITATING. CAVATION WILL DESTROY AN IMPELLER VERY FAST BY IMPLODING BUBBLES ON THE METAL OR PLASTIC UNTILL THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN.
