Simple Pumps
Simple Pump is the premier manufacturer of hand water pumps. Having your own well is both practical and necessary for many. Those not on a grid need to tap into an aquifer, while those opting out of using the grid, instead, will pump their own water through a motorized or hand water pump. In business since 1999, Simple Pump creates hand water pumps in manual and motorized forms for such a purpose. A Simple water pump, in fact, can be your dominant well pump by way of a motor or one can work alongside your current submersible system as a backup.
Simple water pumps operate in shallow and deep wells. The typical system by this manufacturer can bring water up from 350 feet. As a backup water pump, Simple products can be installed into four to eight-inch wells and work directly with your current system, in case a power outage occurs. When used on its own, a Simple hand pump ends up being more efficient, as one can be installed into a two-inch well. In all cases, Simple water pumps bring up five gallons per minute at normal pressure from a depth of 300 feet.
All Simple Pump products have a 50-year lifespan and are low maintenance. Additionally, lead-free metal is used for all pumps. The metal going into each Simple water pump is created from CNC-machined stainless steel and meets requirements specified in the Safe Drinking Water Act.
When you install a Simple water pump to your home, a few options are available, although all systems only take a few hours to install by yourself. A basic Simple hand pump uses a 24-inch handle, but a 36-inch handle is also offered. This longer design decreases the amount of force needed to bring the water up to the surface from eight to four pounds. Additionally, the longer handle allows you to bring water up from further down into the ground.
A Simple Pump, however, can be motorized and operate off solar power. With a motor, a Simple water pump needs a 130-watt solar panel to provide a family or household consuming 250 gallons per day with enough water. If a family or household consumes more than this, two 130-watt panels are needed.
