What Makes Our Hand Pumps Different?

When it comes to dependable water access, not all pumps are created equal. Whether you’re preparing for emergencies, living rurally, or simply want a reliable backup to your electric well pump, the quality of your pump matters. At A&B, we install hand pumps that are built to perform and last for decades.

Here’s what truly sets our hand pumps apart.

Professional-Grade Materials for Long-Term Performance

The first difference is in the materials. Our hand pumps are constructed using professional-grade components designed to withstand constant use and harsh conditions. We use NSF-certified stainless steel, aircraft-grade aluminum, NSF-certified PVC, lead-free brass, durable acetal, and FDA-approved fiberglass resin.

Why does that matter? Because every material in your water system should be safe, corrosion-resistant, and engineered for strength. NSF certification ensures that the components meet strict public health and safety standards. Stainless steel resists rust and wear. Aircraft-grade aluminum delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Lead-free brass and FDA-approved materials help ensure your water stays clean and safe.

This isn’t hardware-store quality. It’s professional, field-tested durability designed for serious performance.

Made in the USA

We proudly install hand pumps manufactured in the United States. That means tighter quality control, better craftsmanship, and materials sourced to meet high safety standards. American manufacturing also ensures consistent performance and dependable availability of parts if service is ever needed.

When you invest in a hand pump, you’re investing in long-term reliability. U.S.-made construction helps deliver the strength and dependability homeowners expect.

Emergency Water When You Need It Most

Power outages can happen without warning, from storms, grid failures, or unexpected equipment breakdowns. When your electric well pump stops working, your water stops too.

Our hand pumps provide immediate access to water during emergencies. There’s no waiting, no scrambling for temporary solutions, and no hauling water from off-site sources. With a properly installed hand pump, you can draw water directly from your well anytime, even if the power is out for days.

It’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.

Never Pay for Generator or Fuel Costs

Many homeowners rely on generators as a backup water solution. But generators require fuel, maintenance, and ongoing expense. Fuel availability can also become an issue during widespread emergencies.

A hand pump requires no electricity, no fuel, and no ongoing operating cost. Once installed, it’s ready whenever you are. That makes it one of the most cost-effective and dependable backup systems available.

Compatible With Most Existing Electric Pumps

One of the biggest advantages of the systems we install is compatibility. Our hand pumps can be installed alongside most existing electric well pumps. That means you don’t have to replace your current system to gain manual backup capability.

You continue using your electric pump for everyday convenience, while your hand pump stands ready as a fully independent backup.

Deep-Well Capability Up to 325 Feet

Not all hand pumps are capable of handling deep wells. Our systems are engineered to lift water from static water levels up to 325 feet deep. That makes them suitable for a wide range of residential and rural well applications. Depth matters, and our pumps are built to handle it.

It’s time to invest in a well pump that suits your lifestyle and needs, installed by a professional team that you trust.
