These
parts are for this model only. You can vary the parts and adapters. The only
thing necessary for a working pump is a foot valve, a weep hole (cold climates),
a stiff hollow shaft above the foot valve and a hose or side pipe discharge
for the water as it comes out.
Power
outages are becoming more common due to storms, aging transmission grids, accidents
and criminal acts. This hand pump can help citizens maintain a potable water
supply. The more self-sufficient citizens are in having water, food, medicine,
medical supplies and other basic needs, the less likely they will overload
the local emergency services agencies in a power outage or other widespread
emergency.
Please
copy this document and distribute it to your local community via school activities,
churches, civic clubs or local businesses.
Buy
the parts and build a pump now. The parts are already scarce due to low inventory
stock management practices in stores.
In
such an emergency, the fate of yourself, you family and your community is in
your hands. Will you be prepared to survive it?
