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?
