Since you haven't researched the subject.... the factory water pump has 6 and nine vanes w no backing plate. As it rotates clockwise, it slings water out in a 360° circle. It does not somehow focus the water in a specific direction, it is centrifugal force. Water comes up from radiator into housing and out of housing into engine. Reverse rotation pump has anti-cavitaion plate on stock pump or Flowkooler pump. This also slings water out in 360° circle, again, centrifugal force. Water comes up from radiator into housing and out of housing into engine.
