This pump, is located on the well it served, and has been allowed to become rusty. It looks, from my winter visit, that in spring and summer flowers are planted around it.

Pump Details:
" Individual rubber "buckets" mounted on a chain (Chain and Buckets sold separately) and powered by crank, lift water up through a heavy plastic tube (not included). Raise water straight up from as much as 30', from cisterns, tanks and even ponds, lakes or rivers - fast enough to fill a 5-gallon bucket in under a minute.

  • Lift water up to 30 feet
  • Cast iron drive and spout
  • Galvanized housing and tough plastic pipe and reservoir with a Powder-coated steel frame
  • Minimum opening of 3" x 13" in mounting platform is needed
