Hi, I have got water under my floorboards and found this but no idea what it is and if its the cause of my water being there. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Dpya3D8TRhNNRSUA6
What is the floor construction?
If suspended timber, check external ground levels
. Yes it’s suspended, I live half way down a hill in a terraced house, so water table levels shouldn’t be an issue? And air bricks are above ground level.What is the floor construction?

originally when I first opened up the floor I removed over 200 litres of water and it slower replaces itself.How much water are we talking here?
Looks like an old water meter maybe? Google the name on it. Doubt its related if it was just loose in the rubble/ground
No numbers on it for it to be a meter, it’s been suggested to me it could be an old central heating pump.
It does look like a central heating pump.
I only bought the house recently and been trying to sort a damp issue, so by process of elimination I have arrived at this point.Definitely an old pump.
No idea how you'd get that much water under the floor without noticing.
Do you have a water meter in the path? Make sure your taps are off and see if the water meter spins, there's a little star on them which is very sensitive to flow so it should be noticeable.
