Saleri Aftermarket’s new Adaptive Switchable Water Pumps deliver OE technology to the aftermarket

Saleri Aftermarket introduces its new Adaptive Switchable Water Pumps with Saleri patented technology to the aftermarket sector. Officially presented during Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, this new product family covers more than 15 million vehicles.

Unlike systems operating solely with ON/OFF capabilities, the new Adaptive Switchable Water Pumps feature intelligent technology, which uses variable flow to allow the continuous adjustment of the coolant flow, according to the engine’s actual thermal requirements. An axially driven metal ring sits at the heart of this technology, driven by an innovative actuation system developed and patented by the Saleri Group.

Combined with the pump's optimised internal geometry, this solution prevents the actuation mechanism from binding and keeps it isolated from contaminants that may be present in the coolant, helping to maintain consistent operation throughout the product's service life.

The new product family was developed to provide OE-equivalent quality though features such as a zinc-nickel coated pulley for corrosion protection and consistent belt performance, together with a second-generation mechanical seal (Lip Seal), while also providing OE-equivalent flow rate and head performance.

To validate the performance of the new Adaptive Switchable Water Pumps, Saleri Aftermarket conducted a series of comparative tests. The results showed faster engine warm-up, improved thermal stability under demanding operating conditions, reduced temperature peaks and improved cooling efficiency compared with comparative test products.

The new product family is composed of six water pumps references, which are available as both standalone water pumps, and as part of four different timing belt kits that include a water pump, all of which provide a complete repair solution.

Drawing on Saleri Aftermarket’s original equipment expertise, the new Adaptive Switchable Water Pumps combine patented variable-flow technology with great thermal stability, bringing OE engineering know-how to the independent aftermarket.
