RELIABILITY
Over (150) Simple Pumps (model ADA100) have been installed in National Parks and Forests throughout the USA. Approved for installation due to its 50-year useful life.
Three pumps have experienced problems....one was beaten with a baseball bat by an angry teenager, one was shot by a high-powered rifle and one was run over by a pick-up truck. The one run over by the pick-up truck was not operable. The other two continued to function despite the abuse.
Easily Access Safe Drinking Water
Anytime... Anywhere — WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
The ADA100 Simple Pump™ takes very little effort to generate strong water flow. The secret is based on a scotch yoke design where rotational motion is converted into linear motion.
This allows you to draw water from 100-foot depths with minimal effort. For added ease, a 10 lb. counter weight assists with the lift cycle.
In addition to Simple Pump's hand pump design advantages, the ADA100 includes these advantages:
Convenient wheelchair access
Drive shaft target installation elevation is 34" above ground level.
Larger handle grip
Grip diameter is 1.2" so user can grasp it more securely.
Easy to use
Water flows even with less than a full rotation of the crank handle.
Install anywhere
Pump head elevation adjusts up to 10".
Takes less than 5 pounds of input force to deliver water.
Made for the Outdoors
The ADA100 Simple Pump works reliably in any climate. One pump stands strong in one of the windiest places in the U.S. Dozens more are moving water in temperatures reaching -30°F. For added protection, the drive system is mounted in a sturdy 10 gauge cabinet.
The ADA100 has an exceptionally long life because it is constructed from durable materials that resist wear and tear from daily use. Because of this, it costs very little to maintain. In fact, only 3 parts ever need replacing: the piston's double u-cup seal & the pump head's rod seal.
The ADA100 Simple Pump was developed with the USDA-FS Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC). The ADA100 Simple Pump currently serves people in:
Hans Lake Campground
Ocala National Forest
Medicine Bow Route National Forest
Douglas Ranger District
Mount Washington
Cle Elum Ranger District
Custer National Forest
Gauley Ranger District
Wenatchee National Forest
Payette National Forest
Various BLM wilderness camping areas
Operation Specifications
With the ADA100, it takes less than 5 pounds of force to lift 2-3 gallons per minute from 60-100 feet of static water depth. For added flexibility, the pump adjusts to your site's static water level.
You can decrease the amount of force needed turn the crank by decreasing the stroke length. To do this, simply decrease the diameter of the cam rotation in the scotch yoke. Lessening the stroke reduces the amount of water per rotation. In turn, it cuts down the force needed to rotate the crank. For even easier operation, you can adjust the lift stroke from 2" to 6".
The ADA100 mounts on a special 4", 5", 6" or 8" well cap. The suggested minimum casing diameter is 4". The suggested well casing elevation (above level grade) is 12" to 20".
