Why the SIMPLE PUMP™ Is the Smart Choice for Reliable Water—Anytime, Anywhere

Table of Contents

In rural communities, self-reliance isn’t just a preference—it’s a necessity. When it comes to water access, depending solely on the power grid can leave you vulnerable in an outage. That’s where the Simple Pump™ becomes a game-changer. Whether you need a dependable backup pump or a primary off-grid solution, this modern hand pump offers unmatched reliability, depth capabilities, and long-term value.

SIMPLE PUMP™ - A Reliable Backup or Primary Pump for Your Home

The Simple Pump works seamlessly alongside your existing submersible pump, providing access to clean water—even when the power goes out. With the ability to pump from water levels up to 325 feet, it far exceeds the reach of most hand pumps. Whether you want peace of mind for current outages or you’re preparing for the future, the Simple Pump ensures your household has water for drinking, flushing, bathing, and more—without needing electricity.

In rural living, it’s not a matter of if the power goes out—it’s a matter of when and for how long.

There’s Nothing Quite Like It

Most hand pumps fall short—literally. Traditional pitcher pumps only reach about 20 feet. Many others don’t fit into standard well casings or can’t handle pressurized systems. The Simple Pump is different. It:

  • Fits alongside submersible pumps in standard 4″ or 6″ wells

  • Delivers up to 5 gallons per minute

  • Pumps directly into pressurized plumbing systems (easily handling typical 45 PSI)

This makes it a truly versatile solution for homes, farms, cabins, or off-grid properties.

Low Maintenance and Built to Last

The Simple Pump is engineered for durability and longevity:

  • Maintenance only every 3–10 years (or more), typically just seal replacements

  • 5-year parts guarantee

  • Made from aircraft-grade stainless steel and aluminum

  • Precision-machined for strength and performance

  • Uses graphite-impregnated bronze bushings at key pivot points

  • Stainless steel is the only metal that touches your water

This means fewer worries, less upkeep, and dependable performance year after year.

Built for Harsh Conditions

Cold climate? No problem. The Simple Pump is freeze-proof, with a built-in weep hole that allows water to drain below the frost line when not in use. It’s proven in some of the harshest environments—including Alaska and northern Canada—where winter temps drop below -30°F.

Safe, Secure, and Grid-Free

All components meet Safe Drinking Water Act compliance, so you can trust the quality of every drop. If you’re away for extended periods, the pump lever can be removed, and the pump head lowered to make it less noticeable and more secure.

Solar Upgrade Option—Unmatched Versatility

What truly sets the Simple Pump apart is its upgrade potential. You can:

  • Start with a hand pump

  • Upgrade to a 12V or 24V solar-powered motor

  • Switch back to manual use in minutes if needed
