Water Pump

Water Pump
What keeps my water pump for my mobile home keep shutting on and off quickly?

The gauge goes up to 45 lbs. pressure, then drops quickly to zero, then pump comes on again, runs maybe 5-6 seconds and shuts off? No water pressure at faucets in house!
The pipes aren’t frozen because it’s been above freezing here in Florida.

the pipe going from the well to the house may be froze up. try checking if your heat tape is working maybe try putting a heater by the pipe and trying in a hour or two. in the meantime i’d shut the pump off so you don’t damage it. HTH!!

Beating the Heat With the Saturn Water Pump

Taming a horse that packs a potent heave of performance inside that of an engine of a Saturn is a must. After all, it is needed to prevent such damages like engine overheating. Thus, the cooling system is there to remove excess heat form the engine, thereby keeping engine temperature at bay. Such condition would trigger increased power, torque and fuel economy.

An important element in driving off the heat in the engine compartment is the coolant. The one that transports this throughout the confines of the cooling system is the Saturn Water Pump. It is the centrifugal pump being driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft of the engine. From the radiator, the coolant is transported to the engine and back to the radiator itself. This is where the coolant with the heat is being cooled off through the radiator fan. It then dissipates through the air outside.

This water pump contains the shaft with a pulley at one end and a pump rotor at one end. As the belt spins the pulley, the rotor starts to circulate the coolant. Near the center of the pump is an inlet in order for the coolant returning from the radiator would hit the pump vanes. After which, it delivers the coolant outside the Saturn Water Pump, where it enters the engine.

It is the duty of the water pump to continuously serve its purpose to keep the engine at a safe and manageable temperature. If there is too much heat present at the engine bay, chances are, this could damage the involved parts. The seals separating different engine fluids would melt. Diluted oil will be inefficient for friction, while other delicate metal parts would warp from the extreme heat. If worse comes to worst, a failed Saturn Water Pump would lead to a rather difficult process to replace it. First, the belt that drives the water pump must be removed, Also, the timing cover must be opened. It is then when access to the mounting bolts of the pump could then be possible. When the timing cover is off, check for the proper operation of the timing chain or belt.

From warped leaks to blown gaskets, the Saturn Water Pump can also be prone to leaks. Notice that refill becomes more frequent than the usual with a leakage. A “weep hole” is when there is a small hole drilled on the underside of the water pump. There is sit seeps past a bad seal, it drains out the weep hole. Replacement is a healthy remedy for such problem.

How do I remove the water pump drive pulley on a 98 Cadillac Deville?

This is not the tensioner pulley or the pulley on the water pump this is the pulley attached to the engine drive. I can not get it off and I need to in order to replace the head gasket. Please help.
There are 3 bolts on the inside of the block cover, but none on the pulley itself. I have loosened the bolts on the inside as far as possible and still it will not come undone.
The center of the bolt has a 10mm bolt hole. The 10mm is the top of the bolt I don’t know the actual bolt measurement.

It should have 4 bolts in the center holding it in place
