Salient Features of the Pressure Pump

• The Pressure Treadle Pump is a variation on the standard treadle pump that allows water to be lifted above the level of the pump itself. This greatly increases the versatility of the pump:
• water can be lifted to elevated plots of land
• It can be pumped through hoses over long distances (up to 500 m)
• It works with total head 55feet with maximum 20feet suction lift.
• It can be used to fill the elevated tanks of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.
• The discharge out put is 3000-5000 liters per hour depending upon the depth.

The Pressure Treadle pump retains the advantages of the standard Treadle Pump, including low cost (albeit slightly more expensive than the standard version), efficient foot-powered operation, locally manufactured, easily maintained, and the ability to generate significant additional income for smallholders.

• It is a double cylinder and double acting model, both downward stroke and upward stroke delivers water and optimum utilization of energy spent is achieved.
• A portable self-contained unit sits at ground level.
• Flexibility in installation, it can be moved from one location to another, without any permanent installation on a single well.
