These strong and efficient cast iron hand water pitcher pumps are similar to the ones used by the pioneers that opened the West, the farms in the East and South in the 1800’s. The Heller Aller Pump Company was established in 1886 and their pumps are still made in the USA by Amish craftsmen.The Oasis hand water pumps are also made in the USA. They are a modern version in reinforced ABS and PVC plastics which makes them light weight plus rust and corrosion resistant.

Pitcher Pump History The first all-metal pump in the world was cast and assembled in the little stone shop at Green and Ovid Streets, in Seneca Falls, New York in the year 1848. The idea for it was sponsored by Seabury S Gould himself, Goulds’ first president. He believed in the possibilities of the iron pump. He watched as the first pump casting emerged from its mold of sand – a pump they believed would overcome all the disadvantages of the pitcher pumps manufactured in wood, one that would be strong and efficient and would provide water for the pioneers who were opening the West, the farms in the East, and down South. Pretty much every midwestern US state with a farm has an old manual hand pump somewhere on the property. The oldest and most used water pump in the world today STILL is the manual pump.

Product Information and proccess
As the piston starts downward, the check valve on the bottom of the cylinder closes and the valve in the piston opens to allow the piston to move to the
bottom of the cylinder. Water is trapped in the pump cylinder during the down stroke of the piston, and then is forced upward into the drop
pipe on the next up stroke. The pump stand in the Region One standard hand pump drawing has a drinking fountain and hydrant instead of a spout.
A reservoir on the pump stand holds a small amount of water to allow the water to flow out of the drinking fountain for 5 to 10 seconds after pumping is discontinued.
Another pump stand that is available has provisions for treating the water discharged from a hand pump.
The manual shows a pump stand with a water treatment base. The water flows out of a fitting at the pump base, through the treatment unit, and back into the bottom of the reservoir
unit. Treatment could include filtration, disinfection, ion exchange, etc.
