Q:I've bleed the lines, and gotten rid of all the air bubbles. I've replaced the thermostat correctly, (triple checked) and I don't think it's the water pump because it isn't leaking what so ever. My temperature gauge is not moving what so ever, and the coolant reservoir over flows heavily, and I can hear a thumping sound in the radiator.

Flush out the radiator.. check to confirm a bhg with a compression test.

Q:Question for you. I'm looking for a 12v (no AC converter, please) water pump to drive up to 4 water misters. Needs to run off the battery, without an AC converter (already found those). The pump will pull from a water reservoir and provide cooling relief on hot days through the misters. BTW... the pump should be reasonably small, limited to a few pounds...If you have any ideas, please advise.Thanks again,Robert

The ac converters are 12V rectifiers so just use the pump (wire to a battery) without the converter or check with motor home repair place

Q:I would like to ask the river for about 70 degrees on the steep slope pumping 170 meters, flat 40 meters into the pool, what should I choose water pump? How many heads? How to choose the water pump model? Thank you

Your vertical height is approximately equal to 190 meters, the actual line loss should be considered to be more than 200 ~ ~!How much do you need for traffic?Choose a suitable submersible deep well pump according to the flow rate! You can communicate in private!

Q:I moved into a house on a rural property in January, and we live off tank water and have a Grunfos PT18 pumping all our water into the house.The problem is, not all the time, but alot of the time my pump stays on after having a shower, the motor keeps running and restarting continuously as if it is desperately trying to pump more water through, until I go underneath my house and literally turn it off at the powerpoint, wait for a bit then turn it back on. I am scared if I leave the motor keep going like that it will burn my pump out. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem, or why it may be doing this, or is something causing it?Thankyou in advance, from someone who has next to no knowledge about pumps!!

Grundfos Pumps Problems

Q:I have a leak on the front of the engine by the timing belt housing coming out of a small hole by the alternator. I assume it is a leaking water pump. How do to go about changing the water pump?Short clip of actual leak coming from the hole by the alternator and under the timing belt housing

water pump is timing belt driven, so you have to pull all of the belts off, the timing belt cover and that belt also. if that belt has not been replaced in 80,000 miles. you want to do that. i had a 93 civic and a 90 civic that i did the belt and pump in at 230,000 miles. it takes a little time but it is not that bad. the harmonic balancer has to come off for the timing belt also.

Q:Is it cheaper to run an electric water pump or a furnace?

heat water/pump. not sure what that is but I know what a heat pump is. If that whats your talking about thean the answer is well...yes and no. depending on cost of gas and electric typical a heat pump is better to run for heat as along as its above freezing outside. It will still work and put out heat all winter but it won't be much heat for what your paying for, at which point your better with gas heat.

Q:Does it take more power to pump water with a 1 /12 hp bg motor/pump than one that is a spare pump/motor running dry,not connected to the system? I am trying to figure out how long it will run with an power inverter during a power failure.

Your Bell and Gosset pump runs on 110 volts and circulates the water through the heating system. It will not run dry because the motor is seperate and spinning an impeller.I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.

Q:The dealership wants nearly $500. to replace the water pump in our 2002 Tahoe (5.3) it's leaking from the weep hole. I'm somewhat mechanically declined, what precautions will I need to know and any special tools to do the job myself? I've done a few water pumps back in the 1980's that didn't leak Thank you

You just need basic tools and a little knowledge. Since you've changed them before, you should have no problem. The Tahoe water pump hasn't changed that much. It's still on the front of the engine.

Q:Had house power washed today and need my water to work again!

You really need to get an experienced Electricain there. Seems you have water that has worked its way into the electrical panel. And electricity and water does not mix. If you are comfortable working with this panel its really simple fix. First disconnect the wires on the breaker that is popping. As you look at the breaker the side opposite of the wires, you will need to pull up and then out to remove the breaker. Use a electrical cleaner, brake cleaner, starting fluid, anything that does not leave a residue and clean the breaker well. Also look for any water in the enclosure and spray it down until the water is gone. Depending on how much mositure you have, you may be able to use a towel to soak up some of the moisture in this panel. Be very careful because there is live voltage still in the enclosure.

Q:I am trying to increase the pressure of my shower and I am looking to install a water pump. Does anyone know what kind of pump would work well for this? I don't want a big pressure pump, just a small one that will be cheap.

American Standard has a shower head with a turbine in it. Get that. its made for low flow applications.
