I am a 60 year old, 100 pound woman and with my disabled 59 year old male friend we installed my simple hand pump ourselves. It took less than three hours. It was easy, fun and he did it while sitting in a chair.
The pump is easy to install although it did take some one with strength to attach the finial stainless steal piece due to the weight of the pipes. The handy pipe holder made attaching each piece of the pipe a breeze.
I would recommend trying it yourself with the aid of a helper before wasting your money on hiring someone. If you can screw a lid on a jar, you can do this!
Many thanks to The Simple Pump company for a wonderful product.
