Tried that 'listen for the pump' trick on the old Erie Sand Sucker and it actually works

Was sure it was just an old wives' tale until we avoided a 12-hour shutdown by catching a bearing whine two days early. Anyone have a good method for checking impeller wear without pulling the whole housing?

We used a borescope camera on a similar pump last year. Got a decent look at the leading edges through the discharge flange. Saved us a full teardown.
