water pump

Circulation system heart

A water pump is a mechanical device that moves water from one place to another, typically by creating pressure or suction.

Water pumps circulate coolant through vehicle engines, draw water from wells, drain flooded basements, or supply irrigation systems.

The water pump failed and the engine overheated.
