By the way a water pump operates (driven by the serpentine belt), it runs all the time.
Bear in mind that if the engine coolant is too old, or there is not enough anti-freeze in the coolant, it may start to freeze and turn to slush or actual ice inside the engine.
No water pump will be able to move slush or ice around inside the inside.
Another part that is important to the cooling system is the thermostat - which opens and closes to control the flow of engine coolant.
NO. Its location will determine if it and its associated plumbing will freeze up.
the hot water valve shut off valve shuts off the hot water. The cold water valve shuts off the cold water. ;()
It's possible, but I'd be suspicious that there was leak in the pump seal that allows air in when the "low side" gets shut off.
Either the thermostat is stuck shut of the water pump is bad. Make sure that the coolant is full as well, then check the thermostat and pump to see why the coolant isn't flowing.
On any water heater, the shut off is on the incoming cold pipe.
Which water you talking about? Under the kitchen sink there should be a C/W shut off If your talking toilet there should be a shut off left hand side under the tank. Shower or bath tub possibly integral stops Main cold water shut off Normally by the house trap. Multi story building a cold water riser
A heat pump will do this, a furnace should not. Are you sure you have a furnace?
Most well water must use a pump. Simply switch the pump off.
Don't know how cold your cold is but, it could be water in the fuel system (ice).
Showers and tubs do not usually have shut off valves on the supply lines. To shut the water off you will have to shut off the main water line. There should be one on the cold water line to the water heater. This may shut both the hot and cold off or just the hot. There will be one in the main line coming into the house on the basement wall closest to the street or at the water meter.
Platties are tropical fish and they rely on the temperature of the water to keep their metabolism going. If their water gets too cool, their organs will simply shut down and you will have dead fish. Proper temperature for Platties is about 70F
You will get some back pressure from the water heater. It will come out of either the hot or cold. Shut the tank off if there is a shut off there.
