Whenever, there is an emergency the first thing that we can
think of is storing water and food in sufficient amounts. However, water is
also something that is perhaps the most basic thing that you need in life such
as for performing chores of the household. There are several natural sources of
water such as the rain and ground, which basically stores rainwater in one form
or the other. Hand Water Pump is used in order to draw out this water from the
ground beneath us. This is the age of mechanical pumps that do not need as much
force such as the hand pumps. This is because of the fact that these devices
run on electricity.
When do the hand
pumps come in handy?
It is in emergency situations when the normal conditions are
not to be found that you need the hand pumps. Examples of such situations would
include natural disasters such as droughts, as well as times when there is
power outage. In such cases, they can easily be a viable alternative to the
electric pumps. In these situations they are always better. If you can add a
motor to this pump you can get it to run on solar energy as well.
Simple deep well
pumps
The basic deep well pumps can be used to draw water from as
deep as 350 feet beneath the surface. It can suck out as much as five gallons
of water in just a minute. Normally such a pump needs a pressure of only eight
pounds in order to get water from out of the surface. In any case a normal
family does not need more than 250 gallons in a day. If you work every day with
a manual pump on a daily basis for around three hours you can easily get out
1000 gallons of water. Normally a motor pump uses around 12 volts in order to
work.
Using solar power
As has been stated before, these devices can be made even
more effective by using solar powers that can be captured and channeled through
panels. This form of energy can save you a lot of money and is quite effective
as well. However, the problem with such pumps is that you need sunny days in
order for them to be operated easily. You can operate them with your hand or
you may use a battery of 130 watts for the purpose.
How do they work?
These pumps employ natural atmospheric pressure to create a
vacuum through which the water is sucked out from the ground. This is the
reason why these pumps are known as suction pumps. You can use them for both
deep and shallow wells. You can store the water thus sucked out in barrels with
an intention to use them during emergencies. You may also store them in water
tanks to be used for daily household work. These tanks can be used to store
gallons of water at any time. The tanks are made from polyethylene of the
highest quality.
