A water pump has a pulley provided with an internally toothed gear and an externally toothed gear that is further in than the internally toothed gear in a radial direction, a shaft gear involved in transmission of power to and from the pulley, and a transmission mechanism that mediates transmission of power between the pulley and the shaft gear. The transmission mechanism includes gears and that set a transmission gear ratio to a first value when the transmission mechanism engages with the internally toothed gear and set the transmission gear ratio to a second value different from the first value when the transmission mechanism engages with the externally toothed gear, a rocker arm that switches an engagement object of the gears on a pulley side between the internally toothed gear and the externally toothed gear, and a DC motor that drives the rocker arm.
