A closer look
The parts behind
the pumping.
Get familiar with the piston and foot valve: two key components in your hand pump kit. Here’s what goes into each one.
Inside the kit · 01
The piston.
Our custom piston combines a Buna-N rubber seal with a built-in PTFE ball check valve. The seal and valve work together as part of the pump’s manual pumping action.

Inside the kit · 02
The foot valve.
The foot valve pairs a Buna-S rubber poppet with a strainer made from helically wound stainless steel spring wire. It’s an American-made component at the pump’s intake.

Well depth isn’t water depth.
A well deeper than 150 feet may still be suitable if its static water level is within reach. Confirm the water level and installation depth before choosing your pipe lengths.
