Clean Water For All With Innovative New Water Pump
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
The company Pumpmakers has developed an innovative, sustainable water pump, called NSP Solar Pump. Their main aim in developing this water pump was to alleviate the effects of the water crisis in the many areas of the world where people still have no access to clean water. The NSP Solar Pump is a maintenance-free water pump which is fully powered by solar energy, is inexpensive to construct and can be manufactured locally anywhere in the world. Furthermore, the NSP Solar Pump system can also be installed as a replacement for existing water pumps, such as hand pumps, diesel generator-powered pumps, or windmill pumps.
The NSP Solar Pump is designed to use only renewable solar energy as its power source, and has no running costs. It is capable of pumping water from a depth of up to 300 feet, even on overcast days, while it also comes with a hand pump attachment for pumping water at night. The pump is also resistant to salt water and corrosion, and is made from high-quality maintenance-free materials. To encourage local economic development in the areas where this pump will afford the biggest benefits, the entire pump is designed so that it can be easily assembled using local skills, labor and parts. A prototype of the NSP Solar Pump has already been installed in a small village in Mozambique. It has been consistently delivering 5000 liters (1300 gallons) of water per day from an 80 meters deep well since 2012. This amount of water is able to supply 800 villagers with clean drinking water.
