10 Reasons a Modular Hand Well Pump Is Worth Installing

You need water every day, and turning on the tap isn't always as simple as it sounds. If you're on a well, your water depends on an electric pump, and that pump depends on the grid. A modular hand well pump gives you a dependable way to get water that doesn't.

What "modular" means here

A Simple Pump hand pump goes right into your well and draws water by hand, no electricity required. "Modular" means the system is built from parts you choose and can service one at a time: the pump head, the cylinder, the rods, the base, the cap. You size it to your well, you install it alongside the electric pump you already have, and if a part ever needs attention you replace that part, not the whole system.

If you want automated or solar pumping with a hand-pump backup, that's a different product today: the Inline Manual-Solar Well Pump System, which pairs a WORKHORSE Narrow Series solar submersible with your Simple Pump. This article is about the hand pump itself.

10 reasons it's worth installing

1. Water with no power. The hand pump works during an outage, off-grid, or anytime your electric pump quits. No grid, no fuel, no electronics.

2. It installs alongside your existing pump. You don't replace your submersible. The Simple Pump goes into the same well as a backup, so day to day nothing changes.

3. It reaches deep wells. The system draws from wells with a static water level up to 325 feet, which is well beyond what most hand pumps manage.

4. It's built with materials meant for drinking water. NSF-certified lead-free stainless steel, aircraft-grade T6061 aluminum, and FDA-approved fiberglass resin, meeting Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.

5. You size it to your well. Cylinders come in several bore sizes so the pump matches your depth and the effort you want at the handle.

6. The parts are serviceable. Because the system is modular, you can replace a seal, a rod, or the cylinder without pulling and replacing everything.

7. Low operating cost. A hand pump has no monthly power bill. Occasional maintenance is about all it costs you over time.

8. Low maintenance. The pump is designed to keep running with little attention. Keep it clean and clear of debris and it does its job.

9. Lifetime warranty on the hand pump. The standard Simple Pump hand pump carries a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.

10. Made in the USA and shipped as a kit. The system is manufactured in Minden, Nevada and ships with the parts you need for the install. Our team can help you size it before you order.
