Dead heading doesn't cause cavitation. Cavitation is the formation and subsequent collapse of vapor bubbles as the fluid travels from the low pressure eye of the impellor along the vane where pressure increases. Dead heading typically results in seal and possibly bearing failure due to excessive heat as the impellor continues to spin with no fluid flow.
