Pedal pump
This type of pump uses hydraulic and vacuum suction principles, operated 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 in depth, making it pass through even hard rocks. This extraction method does not use fuel or electricity for its operation. The system is adaptable to irrigation systems for small areas of cultivation, allowing careful use of water resources, ensuring food production in the summer season and prolonged heat waves. Thus being a considerable contribution to the food sovereignty of low-income families.
