pedal pump
This type of pump uses hydraulic and vacuum absorption principles, powered by pedals, to extract water at depth, even through hard rock, without the need for fuel or electrical power.
This type of pump uses principles of absorption and vacuum hydraulic transmission of pistons that are mechanized by pedals, these are activated by the user to extract water at depth, making it pass through even hard rocks. This extraction method does not use fuel or electrical energy for its operation. The system is adaptable to irrigation systems for small crop areas, allowing the careful use of water resources, ensuring food production in the summer season and prolonged dog days. Thus being a considerable contribution to the food sovereignty of low-income families.
