Hello! Do ALL the pumps create suction cavitation (ie bubbles of vacuum inside the water)? Or it is a rare phenomenon? And does it increase with pump speed? thanks!

Essentially all pumps that are applied improperly with respect to suction pressure, yes. Properly applied pumps do not cavitate.physea said:Hello!
