How To Maximize The Performance And Lifespan Of Your Water Pump

Preventative maintenance is the key to maximizing the performance and durability of any water pump. Here’s a list of maintenance tips to share with your customers:

  1. Check coolant fluid levels with every oil change. Coolant should be changed approximately every 30,000 miles.
  2. Always use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended coolant. Avoid off-brand coolants as they tend to have a lower level of ethylene glycol concentration and higher levels of acidity/alkalinity which drastically reduce the lifespan of a water pump.
  3. If not using a pre-mixed coolant, make sure to mix with distilled water rather than tap water. Tap water has small amounts of metals that can accelerate corrosion as it lacks lubricating, cleaning, and anti-rust properties, which can accelerate deterioration of the cooling system components.
  4. It’s recommended water pumps be replaced every 60,000 miles as a preventative maintenance item to ensure the engine’s cooling system is running adequately.
  5. When replacing the water pump, make sure to do a full coolant system flush to purge any residual contaminants and sediment deposits.
