A Deep well hand pump is used when the static water level (distance between top of the ground and top of the water level) is more than 20 meters. In most cases, the pump cylinder is installed at least 20 meters below the static water level, and connects to the well head through a series of PVC pipes and stainless steel lift rods. Since these pumps draw water from deeper than usual levels, it is necessary that they are sturdy and strongly built.

The deep well hand pump can be installed in bore wells of a diameter of minimum 125mm and the internal diameter of the underground cylinder ranges from 60-65mm. the stroke length ranges from 120-130mm. these hand pumps give a water discharge of 12-15 liters per minute of 40 strokes, and an average of 900-960 liters per hour. The maximum depth of operation of these hand pumps is 30 meters. These pumps are self-priming and do not require routinely maintenance. Also, they are available in different grades and dimensions, which can be customized as per the client requires. This pump has excellent “community management potential” and can be easily installed and repaired by a village caretaker or women, making it popular with small communities. The above ground parts of the pump can be locally manufactured, but the rest of the components require a high degree of manufacturing quality, which is not available around the globe. So in some countries, these components need to be imported. However, imported components require strict quality control and check to increase the lifetime of the hand pump, and considerably reduce wear and tear of parts and disuse due to corrosion.

This pump is designed with a cylinder which allows the piston to be extracted without removing the rising main.

It is widely used in almost all the regions of Africa and is one of the biggest success stories of the continent.

The majority of people in the developing world gain access to groundwater either by means of a bucket and rope, or by using a hand pump. Using a bucket and rope can be made easier if the well is provided with a windless to help lift the bucket.

However, although easy to operate and repair, the bucket and windless arrangement has serious disadvantages: it does not allow the well to have a salable cover slab to prevent ingress of polluted water or other contaminants, and the bucket and rope themselves are continually polluted by mud and dirty hands. Therefore, if the water to be raised from a well or borehole is for people to drink, it is preferable to install a hand pump.
