The chain pump is type of a water pumpin which several circular discs are positioned on an endless chain. One part of the chain dips in to the water, and the chain runs through a tube, slightly bigger than the diameter of the discs. As the chain is drawn up the tube, water becomes trapped between the discs and is lifted to and discharged at the top. Chain pumps were used for centuries in the ancient middle-east, europe, china-13, and ancient-egypt.

What is chain pump irrigation?

A chain pump consists of two large wheels, connected by a chain. Buckets are hanged on the chain. The bottom wheel is half immersed in the water source. As the wheel is turned, the buckets dip into the pool and pick up water. The chain then lifts them to the upper wheel, where the water from the buckets is transferred to the pool. The chain then carries the empty buckets back down to be refilled and the process continues.The chain pump is type of a water pump in which several circular discs are positioned on an endless chain.

The oil pump is located in the timing chain cover. If you are going to replace the oil pump, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a new timing chain also. Saturn sells a kit which includes both the chain and the oil pump. Once you have removed the timing chain cover, the oil pump can be removed using a number 30 Torx driver.
