5 GPM - Simple Hand Pump Package

Every well is completely different and there are many variables that influence the components that you will need for your specific pump package.  By knowing all the necessary information upfront we will provide you with an ideal Simple Hand Pump System that will provide years of outstanding, reliable, and quality service. 

To customize your Pump Package use the drop down arrows to change & choose your preferred components.  You will see the price of your pump package in red near the top of the page.  This price will fluctuate as you make your necessary choices and changes.  See our Example Below to assist you in customizing your Pump Package.

Before customizing your well package, you must first know your well depth, static level, and well casing size.  We always suggest putting enough Drop Pipe to go at least 27-36ft. BELOW your static level.  So, if your static level is 72 ft. you will want enough Drop Pipe to reach to at least 99 ft.  To figure out how many Drop Pipe you need divide the desired depth (99 ft. in this example) by the length of the Drop Pipe (9 ft. in this example). So, 99 ft. divided by 9 ft. = 11.  You will need approximately 11 pieces of Drop Pipe. 

Out of the 11 pieces of Drop Pipe one will be a TOP Drop Pipe, another one will be a BOTTOM Drop Pipe and the remaining 9 Drop Pipe will be REGULAR Drop Pipe.  See our example BELOW of a 99 ft. Well with a 72 ft. Static Level.

An Example of a 5 GPM Pump Package w/a 72 ft. Static Level
$ 750   5 GPM Pump w/ Handle (125L)
$   35   1 TOP 9’ Drop Pipe (109DPT)
$ 315   9 REGULAR 9’ Drop Pipe (109DP)
$   35   1 BOTTOM 9’ Drop Pipe (109DPB) Replaces 1 REGULAR DP and is used only w/the 5GPM pump.
$   85   6” Well Cap (C6)
$   59   Check Valve & Pressure Gauge Assembly (CV-1)
$   20   Seal Kit (2 (Two) 626-218 & 2 (Two) 626-210)
$1299  for a 5 GPM Pump Package

ONLY with the 5 GPM Package is a special BOTTOM Drop Pipe (109DPB) required because the 5 GPM Pump Cylinder has a larger diameter than the REGULAR Drop Pipe.  So, a special adapter fitting is glued onto the REGULAR Drop Pipe so it can be easily screwed onto the larger Pump Cylinder.  This REGULAR Drop Pipe with the special adapter fitting is called the BOTTOM Drop Pipe (109DPB).  So, you can see that the special BOTTOM Drop Pipe simply replaces one REGULAR Drop Pipe.  This special BOTTOM Drop Pipe is not needed in the 3 GPM Pump Package because the 3 GPM Pump Cylinder is the same size as the REGULAR Drop Pipe and can be easily screwed onto the REGULAR Drop Pipe without any special adapter fitting.

Things to Know:
~The DC Gearmotor is a wonderful addition to your Simple Pump System!  It will allow you to use a solar panel and batteries to pump the water for you.
 
~When adding the DC Gearmotor we recommend the 5 GPM if your static level is less than 100ft. and the 3 GPM Pump if your static level is below 100ft. It’s less work for the Gearmotor.

~If you are NOT planning on adding a DC Gearmotor, then we recommend the 5 GPM Pump for depths less than 150ft. and the 3 GPM Pump for depths below 150ft.

~If you have a roof over your well casing, we have shorter length drop pipe available in 54” and 27” lengths. 

~Both Pump Models will allow you to fill your pressure tank with water so you can use the water facilities in your home during a power outage.

~If you want to hard plumb your hand pump into your existing water lines to fill your pressure tank you can do this with a pitless adapter.

~The PVC Drop Pipe is 1" Schedule 80 with an O.D. of 1 3/8".

~The Couplings have an O.D. of 1 3/4".

Things to Check:
~Do you have a submersible that sits at the bottom of your well or a jet pump that sits at the surface?

~Do you have any pipes exiting out the top of your well cap?

~If your recovery rate is slow you may want to purchase extra drop pipe to keep your drop pipe deep in your well.

~Is there a roof or structure over the top of your well casing to prevent installing 9' lengths easily?
