Q:I just had my water pump replaced and a coolant flush. 35 miles later, my MAL light came on and my mechanic said my thermostat needs replacement. Should this have been done with the water pump work, or could the work have caused the thermostat problem?

I agree with Scott.Truth is though the water pump is a completely different issue than a thermostat.The only relation they have is both are part of the cooling system.If it had been me doing the water pump i wouldn't have changed the thermostat either

Q:Submersible pump reverse impact on the pump

Water pump is easy to burn out.Submersible pump is an important equipment for deep well water extraction. When in use, the whole unit dives into the water. The extraction of groundwater to the surface is water, mine rescue, industrial cooling, irrigation, water lifting, ship ballast, also can be used in fountain landscape, hot water submersible pump for hot spring bath, but also can be applied to the extraction of groundwater from wells, can also be used in rivers, reservoirs, canals and other water projects. Mainly used for irrigation and high mountain areas, drinking water, but also for the central air conditioning cooling, heat pump, cooling pump unit, city, factories, mines, railways, construction site drainage use. The general flow can be achieved (5m per hour, fand fand ~650m) head can reach 10-550 meters.There are several kinds of electric submersible pump, in line package is oil immersed and water invasion there is dry must first read the instructions before use, cannot be wrong, not long before use, must have to make the impeller turn, or because of long time card dead burning.Before the pump is opened, the suction pipe and pump must be filled with liquid. Open the pump, the impeller rotating speed, which leaves the liquid together with the rotation under the action of centrifugal force, the left outside impeller injection, injection of the liquid in the pump shell gradually slow the spread of indoor speed, the pressure gradually increased, and then from the pump outlet, the outflow discharge tube.At this time, in the leaves at the center of the vacuum area of low pressure liquid was thrown to the surrounding formation there is no air and no liquid, liquid pool at the surface of the liquid under the action of atmospheric pressure, through the suction pipe into the pump, the liquid is continuously pumped up from the liquid pool is also continuously from the outflow discharge tube.

Q:Hi, what is the difference between an Air pump and a Water pump. What are the functions of each? Does a tank filter come with an air pump? Is an Air pump or Water pump required?

Air Pump For Water

Q:Submersible pump capacity I was 1500W, the normal use of voltage is 220 kV line 600 meters with 6 square aluminum after the start of the effluent is small, and the voltage of submersible pump is reduced to 150 volts could not use voltage of 380 volts (two).

Small amount of water, it should be the lift can not meet the requirements, change the submersible pump is the best solution. With 380 volts, it is very likely to burn out the pump motor.

Q:Have a Toyota RAV4. About 156, 000 miles on it.Yesterday as I started driving, there was a sound coming from underthe hood that sounded similar to a stick in bicycle spokes. Got to theend of the block and stopped and noticed there was smoke comingfrom below the belts.Got back to the house and the temp was up really high. No fluid.Added fluid and water and it was leaking, but not from the radiatoritself, but from towards the back of the engine?Might this be the water pump?

Nope, could be a bad heater hose that burst. Could be an engine gasket but it will be more issues. I am more inclined if is like you described towards the back of the engine, is the water hose for the heater or the valve that controls the flow.

Q:Does the water pump pump the coolant into the engine or pump it out?

The automobile water pump pumps the coolant into the engineThe effect of the water pump is used for cooling the engine; it is the coolant pump in the water tank into the engine of the channel, when the engine temperature is about 93-98 of the body's arrival, the thermostat engine open, cooling fluid from the thermostat back into the tank....

Q:94 f150,302 engine. the water pump comes with 2 gaskets. one behind a metal plate on the pump and another for mounting it to the motor. my question is do you have to use sealant of any kind on both gaskets or can you just bolt it on?

Do not seal these gaskets with anything extra!

Q:Every year my family spends a week on a house boat at Lake Powell where it can get extremely hot in the day time. I'd like to build a mist system using pvc pipes and mist spray heads to help cool us down.I'm not sure what kind of water pump to buy? I've looked at different kinds from submersible to non-submersible, all with different amounts of PSI and GPM. I am not familiar with water pumps and could use some community insight.I want to make sure the pump I get does not burn out because of the back pressure it will get due to the mist heads only allowing a little water to escape at a time.I imagine my mist system would have 8 - 12 heads, reaching no more then 30 feet from water source to the end.Any pointers? Thanks!

I am assuming your water source will be the lake …. I would be looking at a submersible pump possibly a pond pump but you need to know what the “lift” is going to be …from the point where you string the mister to the pump {possibly a 15 foot lift} and a pump that will give you at least 25psi. Because you are going to have back pressure, the submersible will reduce the risk of burn out. Also you need to build a simple enclosed container this pump can sit in, with at least a 4”water inlet hole covered with mosquito netting, nylon hosiery, or something to filter the water….otherwise you will constantly be removing the mister heads to clean

Q:I must change the timing belt of my car. I have been told that the water pump must be done too since it is right there. Due to the high price I want to postpone/skip the water pump until the next tune up. What happens if the water pump fails down the road? How long does a water pump last? 120K? My car has 60,000 miles on it. Thank you.

I always suggest at same time. Most timing belt jobs are 4-5 hour jobs and all of that has to be removed to replace the water pumpp, which could be in a week a month or a year (roll the dice) it doesn't usually take much if any additional labor to replace the pump when everything else is out of the way usually just the cost of the pump itself. if you wait and say a month later the water pump goes out you would have the expense of the pump AND ALL THE LABOR AGAIN.

Q:i need the location of the water pump or for the thermostat thank you

The water pump is timing belt driven and is under the plastic timing cover on passenger side. These water pumps have a history of breaking, due to the fact they have a plastic impeller and it shears off the shaft, which causes the engine to overheat. First you want to remove the thermostat and then check the water pump. Follow the lower radiator hose to where it connects to the engine. That flange is where the thermostat is at. After you remove the thermostat you can shine a light in the hole and put your finger in there, if the impellar of the water pump moves, it needs to be replaced. If it does, then you might as well replace the timing belt and tensioner, seeing how you have to remove it to get the water pump off.
