The Benefits of a Hand Pump Water Well

If you have a water well system at your home, one of the worst things that can happen is that you cannot access that water due to an emergency or malfunction. Submersible pumps and other electric options work exceptionally well, but not when your power goes out.

In these instances, a hand water well pump can make all the difference in you and your family continuing to have potable water to use for bathing, drinking, and running appliances. Read on to learn more about a hand pump water well and why it’s so important. 

What Is a Water Well Hand Pump?

A hand pump or manual pump comprises the following parts and allows you to move small amounts of water with minimal force. 

How the Hand Pump Works

The lever of the hand pump raises, pushing the piston down. Subsequently, water goes through the tubes, and the washer rises from the water pressure, creating a suction effect. As the washer and lever lower, it cuts off the water flow, which accumulates in the pump. As this process is repeated, the water level increases and begins to exit the outlet valve. 

The Advantages of a Hand Pump

Ease of Use

A hand pump pumps water from the well with minimal effort, as the water flow is less than that of automatic devices. Further, the hand pump devices are simple to operate and provide access to enough water to serve communities quickly and easily. 

Efficient and Versatile

Hand pumps can reach a pumping capacity of up to 1,100 liters and can be used in domestic, gardening, and construction applications, to name just a few. Today’s hand pumps are made from lighter and stronger materials allowing for more efficient operations. 

Durability

Hand pumps are made with materials that are resistant to environmental factors, including humidity, allowing them to be used in a variety of spaces. Further, they have become more affordable and accessible while consuming less energy.

“You just couldn’t ask for better from a company. Our well tank sprung a leak, and even though it was afternoon, they said they would come out, and they did! They went and got the new tank and put it in. They worked past dark, so we would have water that night. They even hauled away the old tank. All this and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend Perry’s—they are a wonderful company!”
