I want to use this on metal grates going in a water fountain. Any idea if this will harm the motor of the fountain pump?

Don't use this unless its brand new.they have a rust killer thats pretty good.

All this does is pump a little water back into the pipe when needed. the pressure of the water going into the pipe is only slightly higher than the normal pipe pressure. Don't see how this could damage anything. I have had one for a little over a year and am happy with the results. The only recommendation I would have is to shock mount the little motor so it does not resonate on the wood or whatever it is mounted to in order to make it as quiet a possible. For the very short intervals that it is pumping, you may hear the pump but it is much quieter than the waste water was while it was going down my drain.

I would use it on metal only. It would melt PVC very quickly. If you were very very careful and didn't place the flame very close it might work but again too risky in my mind.

Doubtful, the base of the suction unit is at least that thick as it lays flat on the ground, and you would constantly be losing prime on the pump, most likely burn up the impeller.

No it will not. I understand you want aluminum/zinc to aid with that. However it might be worth reading about this issue on waterheaterrescue dot com (i'm just a customer, not affiliated) for their advice related to various options.

This is designed for use with galvanized metal waterers, never use with plastic ones!!!

Not really damage the pump, but the motor would be running continually until pressure shut it off. So like if it ran for 2 or 3 days it would probably burn the motor up, its not made for continuous running.

I don't know why you would run it out of water due to the danger the rotating prop would create to someone not paying attention. Water would create sufficient friction on the prop to keep the engine from exceeding the maximum rpm. It would be best to email Minnkota with this question. I sure a couple of seconds to see if the motor is working wouldn't damage anything.

Not a good idea. You need a wet saw for that, with this saw the dust is going to get into the mechanism and damage it, the wet saws have a certain setup that makes them water proof. If you introduce water into this saw it will get into the motor.

Not sure if I would use it in high heat / stress applications. Works great for water and pump gaskets.

I used it on a metal motorcycle tank and I am very happy with the results, I am not sure how flexable the castwell is for a plastic tank but some of the video's that I saw on utube showed it being used on plastic tanks.

I doubt it would. If so it would clean off. It's worth it for the good water flow so not to burn up outdrive pumps like I did. Very good thing to have and use each and every time you start your motor. I keep mine on all the time when not going to the lake.

Probably would damage the sand filter. I had to remove my cartridge filter before I poured this in my spa.

It'll most likely react violently and corrode the metal and damage the disposal unit. I wouldn't try it.... what I would try is grinding small amounts of ice... it may free up the pipe and clean the unit too.

i called the company and asked. it is not recomended because as the ice melts it becomes very small, slipping through the screen and damaging the impellers on the water pump. ok good?

Tom: yes , thats the reason I purchased it. It works very well for cleaning parts. However.... It is mixed with water so it tends to evaporate alittle so the water needs to be added occasionally and metal parts cleaned should be dried off ASAP after cleaning to avoid oxidation. Hope this helped. Works good & You can adjust the dilution rate.

Not sure if this would be relevant to your question but, first check the panel. Hold it so that the sun hits it directly. Mine stopped and this helped. The other thing to check, if the fountain has run dry it can burn up the motor.
