The Fun Pump
In a rare collaboration between a global company and an African NGO, Monoflo and Water For All worked together to develop the new “Fun Pump”, a unique water system that is made up of an electric pump powered by a solar panel and a special merry-go-round. The electricity generated from both the power of the sun and children at play provides a significant increase in water production over manually operated pumps.
Depending on the depth and yield of the borehole, the Fun Pump’s solar panel can produce a minimum of 5,000 litres of water per day. When the children are playing, production increases by approximately 20 percent. The system comes with a pump, a 160 Watt solar panel, generator, merry-go-round, storage tank and tap.
In addition to the Fun Pump, Monoflo and Water For All have also worked together to develop the Sun Pump, a 480 Watt solar pump that is capable of producing 8,000-30,000 litres of water a day based on the specifications of the borehole. The Sun Pump comes with several pump options, allowing it to work in a variety of settings and depths.
NOV MONOFLO® and Water For All bring clean water to rural African communities.
