Can this pump be used to drain water heaters in order to repair or replace them

Not sure why you need a pump to drain water heater. Why can,t you open valve near tank bottom and drain into a container. Or better attach hose to valve and run it into drain somewhere unless you have to go up to drain.

No, but as long as the pump is DC powered and it is no more than 0-24 volts (max rated controller voltage) you should be good

I don't have an answer for you on that one. I didn't try what you did. The pump worked fine, we are using it as a spare.

Yes, just use the shut off valves from pool to filter pump. Disconnect hoses and replace with new ones. Or you can lower water level below the lowest outlet and replace that way.

I am on a well and use this pump to circulate hot water between the hot water heater and the rest of the faucets in the house. Being as this pump is only circulating water from the discharge (output) side of the water heater through out the house and back into the hot water heater, it is essentially a closed system and has no need to replace any water or lose any pressure that would require the well pump to kick on when it runs.

My old model was tied in electrically to one leg of my hot water heater and so I hooked up the new one the same as it seems to work fine, but you can either just plug it in or buy one with a timer,your choice. b.it does come with instructions. c.if you are replacing an existing pump, all you need to do is unscrew the pump(the black part) from the brass part,throw the brass part away and screw your new pump to your old brass part,CAUTION don't lose the new O ring.

I would not attempt the replacement. You may be dealing with a space problem, but I would do the adapting on the plumbing side (house) rather than on the pump.

Yes. I have used this pump to replace my burned out pump now for almost a year. This is a strong pump,well worth the price- no problems.

Yes, it will work; however, the outlet/inlet may face in the opposite direction as your old pump - this may or may not make the difference as both ends of your frame should be accessible for the hose and pressure line. This unit uses the same bolt pattern as your motor - but, only three bolts hold it.

Well, Yes, but I do not know your application. It is really a waterproof outside heat pump fan motor. I am using it as a in house heating motor, which works really well, without getting clogged up by dust and debris inside the motor. I has worked great for me and is well made with ball bearings on both ends.

I don't see why not. It is a small heater element that goes into the drain hole and the thermostat is taped to the side of the hot water tank. It has an on/off switch that needs to be placed where it is accessible and needs to be plugged in. We got it for an old camper that was given to us and the heater was in pieces. Works nicely and much cheaper than a new gas heater.

I would say yes, but be aware of the operating amps of the pump. Other than that it should work.

It is not a good idea to go across manufacturers lines with something as sensitive as the pump switch. Even if you would be able to physically get it to fit and wired correctly to function I would advise against it, unless the manufacturer says that it will work.

I would contact the manufacturer about that specifically, but I don't see why not. We use it to empty our yard when it floods so it sits in inches of water and pumps it at a good speed.

Yes, if the pump has enough power to pull it. I had to remove two hoses for the best clean.

Depends on the wattage the heater draws, if it is within the stated wattage of the switch it should work, however, I would probably not use this type of switch for a water heater.

You probably could. If you want to utilize the pump you will need to plug it in.
