Hand Powered

Water Delivered By Your Hands

The Simple Pump hand well pump uses a 24″ or 36″ lever to lift water by hand—so you’re never left without water, even during an outage.

No Electricity

Your own strength powers the pump—perfect for emergencies.

Doesn't Freeze

Precision‑machined seals and a built‑in weep‑hole keep water from freezing.

Always Have Water on Demand

By pairing your Simple Pump Hand Well Pump with our pressure‑gauge and check‑valve kit, you can hand‑pump water directly into your home’s existing pressure tank—just as you would with an electric pump.

Each lever stroke pumps up to 8.5 ounces into the tank, building pressure up to 50 psi so all faucets, showers, and appliances function normally. No special complex plumbing is needed: mount the pump to your well, attach the hose from the pump to the tank inlet, and hand‑pump whenever you need full‑pressure water throughout your home.

Wells 4-Inch or Larger

Fits alongside your existing submersible in most domestic wells.

Easy Installation

Designed for DIY, with step‑by‑step guides—and a nationwide dealer network if you’d rather have help.

I Bought our first Simple Pump in 2009.  The wife finally convinced me (7 years later in 2016) it would be a good idea to install it and make sure it worked.  I had a small issue at that time, can’t even remember what it was, and Steve took care of us right away.  Fast forward to spring of 2022.  I was testing the unit and the top clevis broke off the pump rod.   With the pump now 13 years old I was pretty certain I would need to buy the parts to get the pump working again.  I called tech support Monday evening and got voice mail. 20 minutes later received a call back from Steve.  We discussed the issue and within minutes he knew what was needed and I received a zero dollar invoice with the tracking number for the parts I need to fix the unit.  I can’t say enough good things about this company and their pumps.  With water being as important as it is, I really appreciated the fast turnaround time.  By the way, the tech Steve that helped me is the owner.
