Q:and how do I get it to work 24 hours a day?and on the pump there is written: 2 A, and on another part: 220-240 Vdoes that mean its wattage is 440-480Watt?

You are correct Amps x Volts = watts and since there are about 750 watts per Hp then you have a 2/3 Hp motor. Water pumps can be either submerged in the well bore hole or located top side. A top side well pump relies on the air around it to cool the motor. THe motor may not be rated for continuous duty (see name plate on motor) and may only be rated for a limited amount of time it can be run before it needs a cool down period. (Typically motors are rated for continuous duty) Submersible well pumps are located under water in th well and use the water in contact with the motor housing to cool them. Cooling is thus related to the water flow around the motor and the availability of water. Normal well pump usage for a home is for brief periods when water is actually being used and to maintain system pressure. So unless you are constantly watering your lawn your pump should cycle on and off as necessary. Continuous running is a sign that there is a problem such as a leak, worn pump not achieving proper pressure, or pressure switch setting or similar issue not allowing proper shutdown. If you have a submersible well pump it will be very difficult to tell when it is running unless you can hear the motor contactor open and close or have an indicator light. A properly operating water system will pressurize an accumulator storage tank (water pumped into a tank which contains an air bladder that can be compressed). Once the tank is pressurized the pump shuts off and stays off until the pressure in the tank drops. Pressure drops when you use water or if the water leaks back into the well. At which time the pump runs again and tops off the tank. So in a properly operating system shutting off the well at night won't save you much because the pump should not be running. However if you have a leak and the pump is running a lot you can secure the power to the pump at night until you can get the system repaired

Q:can you replace a water pump gasket without replacing the whole water pump?

Yes, but for all the work involved, it is usually best to just replace the pump while your there, I know Would !

Q:I want to know the disadvantages of a wind powered water pump and if you have any questions you would ask to someone presenting to you about a wind powered water pump(They should be really hard and smart questions) please include them in your answer.Thanks in advance.

Disadvantage: No wind = no water Questions: 1. What is the minimum wind strength that would cause the pump to operate? 2. What is the maximum wind strength before the water pump needs to be disconnected for safety reasons? 3. What is the frequency of maintenance for the wind turbine and the water pump? 4. What is the conversion ratio from wind velocity to water flow rate?

Q:The water pump gasket in my '98 Forester (130k) recently began to leak, and I will be replacing it in the next couple days. I noticed a stream of bubbles in my overflow container, though, and am wondering if it might be bad head gaskets making the air bubbles. The bubbles only appear after the engine is warmed up, like after a drive around town - there aren't any bubbles when the engine is cold.Is it possible that these air bubbles are coming from the leaking water pump? I hope so, because I'd much rather replace the pump than the head gaskets!

Yes it is from the leaky water pump. Because it is leaking it will most prob be sucking air. If it was a head gasket you would notice it when cold as well

Q:I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna and it has 80k+ miles on it. I guess it is the drive belt that is making the noise and I decide to have it changed. I can have the timing belt changed too because it is due at 90k miles. The dealer guy told me that I should also have the water pump changed too because of 2 reasons:1. the new timing belt will cause pressure to the old water pump. If not changed, it will leak in weeks.2. it is cheaper to do it altogether.Without changing the water pump, it would cost about $300.All would cost $1000+.My friend who also has a Sienna that has more miles on it, told me that he did not have to change the water pump.Your advice about the water pump is?

Q:Does the pump accessories have a shelf life?

No, they don't have a shelf life before and after the sale,Before selling, it is infinitely long, and there is no expiration date after the sale

Q:I need to replace a water pump on a '95 3100 Pontiac Grand Am and am looking for a guide how to do it. Also, do I need to flush out the coolant or can I just put a pan underneath the water pump and let the coolant pour out when I take the water pump off? Thanks.

some autos have diverse designs. The water pump on my 96 Century would were finished in a be counted of minutes. the position as some are a lot deeper in the engine. frequently, to modify a water pump like it is extremely somewhat an additional desirable step than replacing the timing belt. it is the reason it is continuously a good idea to do them both right now.

Q:I've noticed after driving my car for a while recently it squeals while accelerating. I'm wondering if its the water pump cause I've had a coolant leak for a while. I poured alluminum sealer in the reservoir and its stopped the leak almost completely though. If it was a broken pump, would this sealer have stopped the leak like it has? I drive a 2000 saturn sl2

If you have ample room to change a water pump, go for it; however, keep in mind some cars use that belt for timing. If the belt is also a timing belt, take it your branded dealer.

Q:I have a bad water pump on my golf gti.Engine is 2.0L. I just would like to know how hard is it to do it myself. And also is there some special tools that I need.How much time usually takes to get this done? Thank you

the water pump is external to the engine, no need to touch timing belt unless your changing it, tools needed- 13mm wrench-22mm wrench - 1/4 drive ratchet-10mm 1/4 drive socket- 3/8 drive ratchet- 12mm 3/8 drive Socket-13mm 3/8 drive socket-19mm 3/8 drive socket-16mm 3/8 drive socket 3/8 drive Extension-pliers- flat blade screw driver- 6mm 3/8 drive allen socket--- remove drive belt's- remove p/s pump, a/c compressor( do not disconnect either they will move out of the way)- remove alternator(disconnect battery first)- remove the bracket assembly( four 13mm nuts three hidden in the holes) there is the water pump(two 19mm tall bolts with studs hold it down, 10mm T bolt passes through the timing cover)
