Afridev HandpumpPublic Domain Handpump The afridev handpump is a public-domain pump which can pump water from up to 45-60 meters below ground surface. This pump is designed with a "working barrel" which allows the piston to be extracted without removing the rising main. A special "hook" tool is required to extract the foot valve from the bottom of the cylinder (the foot valve may be jamed tightly in-place by sand). This hand pump uses imported neoprene rings as piston seals. This specialized part can not be easily made in-county. The $1 rings often wear-out in about a year and, if not locally available, render this pump unusable to the local community! Downloadable Afridev Manual! afridev experience (Ghana)
