Manually Operated Pumps
Famous in Asian countries especially in remote places and provinces where there’s no electricity or places that are prone to brownouts are the hand operated pumps. Sometimes called pitcher pump or industrial pump, it is capable of extracting large volume of water in few strokes. It is usually made of durable cast iron casings with long lever arm for easy operation. These pumps are used to extract water from deep well for home use like water for washing the dishes, water for taking a bath and more. It is also used for irrigating small farms, cleaning pig pens and providing drinking water for farm animals like cows, pigs, chickens and etc.
Other types of manual pumps are bottled drinking water pump, bilge pump, siphon pump and hand crank pump. Bottled drinking pumps are usually used as a back-up pump during emergency situations like power failures and weather calamities where there’s a temporary out of electricity to operate the electric water pumps. It is also used as substitute for water dispensers. It is ideal for camping, picnics and other outdoor and sports activities. For transferring water from a big container into small containers or bottles without spilling, a siphon pump is used. It is one of the simplest forms of pump and usually made of plastic. Use it to transfer liquids from containers with small openings like small plastic bottles and soda bottles. Other usage includes removing of stagnant rain water from open containers and clogged kitchen sink and removing and replacing of aquarium water.
If you love sports and you own a small boat, kayak or inflatable rubber boat, a marine bilge pump comes very handy. You can use it to remove accumulated water at the bottom of the boat to avoid it from sinking. It is usually made of hard PVC tube with the intake port at the bottom of it and the outlet at the top where a long flexible tube is attached. You can operate it by pushing the handle in and out to pump water. Because of its sleek and lightweight design it can easily fit into any small boat without taking too much space. Another useful pump that can be use in common and mobile homes is the 4-3 or 5-2 way hand water pump. This pump utilizes both water from the faucet and water from a reservoir tank. It has a switching mechanism that allows you to choose from the two different water sources. If faucet water is not available you can just switch it and pump manually from the water tank or containers using the built-in water pump. This pump also has a built-in faucet and actually replaces the existing one. It can be installed by securing 3 piece of screw and doesn’t need a professional to do it. The last type of hand pump is the hand crank pump, it is actually a rotary pump just like the one used in motorized pumps. Instead of using an electric motor to drive the pump you have to turn it manually using the built-in hand crank lever arm. A long flexible garden hose is attached to the inlet and outlet port so you can install it to the water source and the destination container. Some models have the option of a coupler so you can use an electric drill to drive it.
