Windmill-driven Simple Pump

Can I drive my pump with wind power?

We have been asked a few time about direct mechanical connection from a windmill to an unmotorized pump.

This is physically possible, but is NOT SUPPORTED. Such an installation will void warranty. We cannot offer a warranty when the Simple Pump is being driven by a very powerful mechanical device of someone else's construction.
(In addition, you have no power when the wind isn't blowing. Not a great option when you want a secure, reliable water supply.)

In Conclusion
The recommended and supported use of a windmill is to drive a generator that charges batteries to then power our motor.
