there should be a pressure gauge on a pipe leaveing the pump, or if it dumps into a catch pan then watch the flow,
Yes, because the water you are recirculating is already past the pressure regulator.
If it's by well, pump not working properly, or at all. Municipal water could be water main break.
because the water pump is not working properly....
Check the coolant in the 96 Taurus. Check to insure that the thermostat is working properly, and that the water pump is working.
It could just be that the water pump is not properly working. Have you checked all the could-be causes for your car overheating if not then do so.
Air trapped in the system, defective water pump, blown head gasket or cracked head, cooling fan not working properly.Air trapped in the system, defective water pump, blown head gasket or cracked head, cooling fan not working properly.
I don't even know what a recirculating pump does but when fast moving water hits a corner or elbow it has a force that can move the pipe. Most likely the pipes need a bit more tie downs. Hopefully the pipes aren't in the walls. Get someone to cut the water on and you go hunt the rattle.
If you have replaced the water pump then flush the radiator with CLR also check to see if the fan is working properly.
The hot water is probably water running through the pump and recirculating in the sump. Is the pump running continually? Water that isn't ejected by the pump and is recirculated is being heated by the pump through friction and the motor heat energy thereby becoming hot. Find out why the pump isn't shutting off or the reason the water isn't being ejected out the pipe.
A fuel pressure test can determine if the pump is working properly or not.
Go from the top of your hot water tank and make your line go to every fixture and after last fixture go back to the tank and connect back into pump, make sure you install a check valve on line at pump
Hotels use a recirculating pump. Hot water is always flowing from the hot water heater around a loop of pipe that goes past the bathroom in the hotel room.
