Hand-operated or Motorized
Great with Solar
You may want to be off the grid right now, or want to be ready for future power interruptions. You might need a hand-operated pump for back-up or as primary. You may want to run motorized on household current now, and then be able to run solar.
How about having all these options IN ONE PUMP - a pump that can switch between hand-operated and motorized in minutes - that is so efficient and low power draw that it can run off a single solar panel, with no battery.
And All With a Highly Consultative Approach
We'll answer your questions, discuss what you need and tailor our recommended system to YOU. Our quotes explain what we are recommending and why, define all system items, and specify the uniquely low force needed by Simple Pump for your well depth and pumping needs (uphill or into pressure). We'll also define the size and weight of packages you will receive.
We are also availably by phone or email for questions AND FOR ASSISTANCE DURING YOUR INSTALLATION.
A water pump made... Simple
Easy to use
When pumping manually, the unique lever arm pump only takes 12 lbs. of force to pump 5 gallons per minute from 100 feet. It's so effortless, a child can do it — even from a deep well! Designed for kids and adults to safely grip the smooth lever arm handle.
It's so efficient, you can easily hand-pump into a pressurized system (house plumbing, irrigation or pressurized tank).
Easy to install
Install your own pump... You can install by yourself, or with just one helper. No winch/hoist or specialized tools needed, as with many hand pumps. Installs in less than 2 hours the first time using common tools. Subsequent installations are usually an hour or less.
Safe
Lever arm removes from the pump when not in use. So children aren't tempted to play with it.
Frost proof
The pump is self-priming, so water is always just a few pumps away. A weep hole keeps your water flowing in the winter, and cool in the Summer.
Tamper-resistant
In just 5 minutes, you can remove the lever arm and related linkage so the pump stands only 5" above the ground. In this "low-mode," your manual water pump won't stand out from your landscaping or attract vandals.
A water pump made... Affordable
Simple Pump is more affordable than comparable pumps.
What's more, the cost-savings goes beyond the initial set up. Simple Pump has an exceptionally long life because it is constructed from durable materials that resist the wear and tear of daily use, and because their fit is so consistent. Because of this, it costs very little to maintain. In fact, depending on the model, only 4 or 5 piston u-cup and rod gland seals ever need replacing.
Simple Pump is tough. On average, you only need to replace those seals once every 5 years, at a cost of only $25.
A water pump made... Versatile
EASILY USED WITH POWER: You can buy the motorized version now, or easily extend - IN MINUTES - at any point in the future. Great with solar.
For industrial and environmental uses: easily moved from well to well for testing and other purposes.
A water pump made... Durable
Materials matter
Integral to the development of the Simple Pump was the investigation and choice of materials: choosing the best material for each part and purpose. Our research and understanding, our preoccupation with the materials and manufacturing processes, is the foundation of Simple Pump's quality. Our materials and our machining caused one client to write that the parts "look like they belong in an Indy car engine".
ALL COMPONENT MATERIALS ARE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT COMPLIANT. All metal parts that make contact with water are lead-free stainless steel, manufactured precisely using computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. Our well caps are aircraft-grade aluminum, machined from a billet rather that the more normal, and not as strong, casting process. The pump rods are high tensile fiberglass and the drop pipe is food-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) schedule 80.
Precision-machining
All components are CNC-machined in aerospace-class manufacturing plants. Computers operate machine tools directly, using the same instructions each time, ensuring the same cut every time. Even parts manufactured in different years always fit precisely.
While the increased CNC automation of manufacturing processes has famously increased quality in industries like automotive, you might not think deploying it to manufacture a simple hand water pump would be important. But it is.
Without CNC machining, it would be impossible to manufacture a hand pump, and then, years later, confidently sell a DC motor to power that same pump. Because the screw locations and parts are located and sized so consistently, the motor can be installed on an existing system without any specialized knowledge, work reliably, and enjoy a long life.
And due to materials, design, and consistent precision machining, the Simple Pump is smaller and yet stronger than other pumps.
Unmatched durability
Designed to last at least 50 years, it could be the only manual water pump you'll ever buy!
Tough enough for industrial use — to safely move contaminated water, highly impacted ground water, and water with other debris.
5-year warranty
USA: In case of a defective component, just send us the part and we'll replace and ship it to you for free anywhere in the continental USA.
Outside Continental US: In case of a defective component, get in touch with us explaining how the part has failed and we'll it replace at no charge. You just pay the shipping.
We understand it’s crucial a pump works when you need it.
Simple Pump Company took all the benefits of traditional pumps - and improved them. Then they took all the disadvantages - and got rid of them. The result... an incredibly durable and efficient water pump that lasts for generations. It’s simple to install, easy to operate and maintain, and easy to use.
For the combination of quality, features, hand/solar ability in one pump and moderate price, there’s nothing that can match it.
