Even the most well-constructed vacuum pump can fail after extended use. In industrial applications, for instance, the downtime resulting from pump failures can be prohibitively expensive — especially if it forces production to grind to a halt.

Even the most well-constructed vacuum pump can fail after extended use. In industrial applications, for instance, the downtime resulting from pump failures can be prohibitively expensive — especially if it forces production to grind to a halt.
Knowing the signs of vacuum pump failure is crucial in maintaining a functioning system and avoiding dangerous or expensive issues resulting from. Your maintenance plan should allow for the servicing, repair, and replacement of pumps. For smaller projects, this may involve sending pumps back to the manufacturer. With this in mind, here are the common signs of a failing vacuum pump:
