I saw a new one today that has me stumped. I pulled a line shaft water lube turbine because it was off in prefromance. The pump is 5 years old. The iron pipe, stainless shaft, and bronze spider bearing all looked fine. When we took the pump apart we found that the bronze inpellers have "roited" in half. The vains were gone and the impellers were in 2 pieces. This is a 8 stage pump and 6 of the impellers were in 2 pieces. The pump is from the worlds largest manifacture. It pumps well water and according to the customer they have not had any other problems. Any thoughts?
