What are hand pumps?
This device or structure is built for the purpose of extracting water from a well. Hand pumps pump the water until it reaches the surface and are operated by human power.
How do they work?
These systems are based on mechanical energy. They have a valve that, when the lever is moved up and down, raises and lowers, allowing liquid to enter the cavity; at the same time, a continuous flow is created with the repetition of the movement. This process facilitates the collection of up to 50 liters per minute to the surface.
Where are they used?
Because hand pumps don't rely on an electrical grid, they are used in various sectors, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted service. They are particularly useful in areas with frequent power outages, such as businesses and homes.
In rural areas it is common to see these types of installations; the inhabitants usually operate them to extract water for their consumption or daily activities (such as watering gardens and plantations, cleaning, etc.).
