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?

Hey Don ..did you mean consecutive hours..if so. Here is how to do it..If there is fluid to be pumped there is sometimes a controller that will ask the pump to stop when it reaches low level . And again ON when it senses high level. Find this device, if one exists and either defeat it mechanically or wire around it electrically.Either is pretty simple. NOW that i have told you how to get it to run all the time. I though I might mention a timer..A timer, in series with your pump, will cut it off and give the liquid level a chance to rise as well. Timers can be defeated the same as all other protective devices,, My question is Are you sure this is what you want to do ? The plug on the end of the cord ,it must be a small pump if only 2 amps, should be your only control .If it has an auto off feature it's there to save your pump from burning the barn down ,so to speak, Why not take another look at your application. if you do have an endless fluid supply ,like a closed loop trickling fountain, remember those evaporate if make up water is not added. Sometimes though you need a pump to run 24-7 in which case just fool the controller..Of course the human is the true controller... :) Well I have armed you with enough info to get by on this please do so safely. From the E...

Q:My car is over heating.the hose that goes to the thermostat is swollen.i wanted to open the radiator to release the pressure but it was too hot ,and too much pressure. is this a sign that the water pump is good?

First let me say the GOOD LORD was watching over you. You NEVER NEVER NEVER open a radiator cap when it is hot. Had a friend do that and he now has scars on his chest where the water sculled him. Yes it is working. What you need to do is change the thermostat. But please wait until the engine is cool to the touch.

Q:I have a 1996 Volvo 960, wagon. I need to replace the steering and water pump on my wagon, and I am wondering if any how can give me instructions on how to do so...

first okorder top of page says do it yourself click that type in your info and look up price place nearest and get a how to replace info as well stil i think it unlikely both are bad at same time and more likely a belt

Q:Car started making noises right after hitting deer, week later car that has never had a problem began to overheat and mechanic says water pump went out and that it has nothing to do with hitting the deer.

It might If the water pump has lots of miles anything might make it go bad , Any accident will cause your car to act funny because it has not been disturbed

Q:I have oil all over my water pump. I investigated when I saw a few drops of oil in the garage that showed up every few days. I then saw a drop of clean radiator fluid. Does oil come near or through the water pump? I have a 96 nissan maxima if that helps.

get the cylinders checked for pressure. Check the spark plugs for fouling and oil in the radiator. It sounds like you cracked a block.

Q:My 93 Ford t-bird over heats and i really don't know what could be the problem, the radiator is working fine, and also the fan and the thermostat, i don't think is a head gasket because the oil looks alright with no contamination and there is no steam coming from the exhaust im beginning to suspect the water pump but the weep hole is not leaking. So does a water pump MUST leak from the weep hole if it is bad, or it could be bad and not leak? thanks in advance...

the water pump might be bad, it won't let the coolant to circulate. or you might have an air pocket in the coolant, that is the great possibility, you need to bled out that air. check the auto manual first before you start that service, all cars are different setup. and to check the water pump if it works, let it run and hold the upper coolant hose for few minutes and let someone to help you to watch the gage if its going to the hot zone, the hose you just holding should get hot even if there is air pocket. then you will know the pump is working. check the botom hose also,to check if the coolant circulate . If it wont get hot the botm hose , you might have a restriction in the engine block. checked also the fan clutch if you have one. Jesus is good . only God is good.

Q:Every time i turn off the engine i hear like liquid noises behind the dash board in the drivers side. My fan isnt working properly but i just took a trip...4 hours away.. on the highway the temperature would be fine but on regular streets my temperature goes high pretty fast..i have been putting anti freeze pretty often lately because it goes low but there is no signs of a leak anywhere. Could it just be that my fan isnt working properly or is it because the water pump is going bad? or both? I have a 93 Toyota celica

17 Years...... Blown Head Gasket, Fans need to be Repaired {A/C Fan on at all times with A/C on, Radiator Fan Cycling as Engine Heats Cools}, Thermostat Removed, Cooling System Boiled/Flushed Out, New Thermostat Installed After Cooling System Cleaning, At 17 Years New Radiator Hoses Clamps, New Radiator Cap, New Temp. Sensor, New Coolant (50%-50% Anti-Freeze Clean Water Used All Year Round). Hopefully that should fix it. Almost forgot; With a Blown Head Gasket there will be Water in the Oil, you should Flush the Engine and change the Oil Filter.

Q:My mechanic doesn't get back in town until next week, and I'm struggling without my car. I don't really have any other options mechanic wise and I'm not dropping $1000 like meineke wants.How easy is it to follow the Haynes repair manuals or any other repair manuals? I have a 1996 dodge avenger and I need to replace my water pump. I know it's a time consuming task, but is it especially hard to replace it?

Try another repair shop. I had my water pump replaced for about $300 and that included the pump and labor and a belt ... Meineke is pricey. You can do better pricewise... Ask around... neighbors... people at work... My water pump was under something else that also had to be taken ou to get to it... not a job I'd want to tackle.

Q:Do you need a stop valve for the pump at home?

Must be connected, in the low-end water pipe, the valve is also called the bottom valve is to prevent the intrusion of water, at the same time, but also to ensure the pump again next time when starting the pump and piping in enough water to prevent idling.

Q:There is a pump, the rated power is 1200W, but only more than 600 W measured!What's the matter, please?I was not measuring no-load, pumping water in the pool, this work environment should be sufficient to pump full load?Also, is the rated power should not change?Thank you

We must first clear the meaning of rated power; rated power is called the reference numerical electrical power consumption in the voltage conditions specified, and the actual power consumption of electrical appliances is different in different situations, the pure resistance (such as lighting, electric) as long as the voltage conditions, the actual consumption of electric power close to or equal to the rated power, and for appliances like motor, electric power consumption, not only related with the voltage, but also with the relevant load. For example, someone with 200 pounds of energy, then the person in the condition of small meal, maximum load of 200 pounds, but if you take as long as he is 100 pounds, of course he relaxed, he would not say must bear 200 pounds!You measure the pump power is less than 1200W, first you did not mention your use of voltage is not rated voltage, then you don't want him full load, the suction is far less than 8 meters, there is no mention of whether you send water to 50 meters (Yang Cheng), there may be insufficient voltage, and you have don't need it so much power consumption. Of course, one advantage is that it doesn't burn easily. It is easy to burn if it is used at full load.
