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.
As vacuum pumps are found in everyday technology, consumers are also impacted by pump failure. The rattling sound of a failing car engine pump, for example, illustrates that your car engine needs repairs.
Knowing the signs of vacuum pump failure is crucial in maintaining a functioning system and avoiding dangerous or expensive issues resulting from failure — like being stranded after having car engine issues or missing shipments when your production line halts. Here, we unpack five of the most common signs of vacuum pump malfunction. But first, let’s explore why maintenance schedules are key in avoiding vacuum pump failure.
