Shallow Well Suction Pump
Suction pump for wells with static water level up to 25' at sea level - Manual or motorized
The Simple Pump shallow well suction pump uses suction to deliver 8.5 oz per stroke from shallow static water level wells, cisterns, and storage tanks up to 25' at sea level. The 25' static limit is based on sea level elevation. Every 900' increase in elevation results in 1' loss of lift. Shares many components with our standard deep well hand pump, but optimized for suction operation. Perfect for shallow static water level wells, cisterns, and storage tanks. Suction pumps are not freeze proof. NSF-certified stainless steel construction with lifetime warranty.
Shallow Wells Need Backup Too
Submersible pumps in shallow static water level wells can stop working at the most inconvenient times!
Storm Vulnerabilities
Wind and ice storms knock out power for days in rural areas
No Water for Daily Needs
Cooking, cleaning, and sanitation impossible without backup water
Generator Dependency
Running generators 24/7 for water pumps costs hundreds in fuel
Don't Wait for Emergency to Strike
The best time to install a backup water system is before you need it. When the power goes out, it's too late to wish you had prepared.
