 There are many handpumps available for both households and larger communities. Below are Deep handpumps, according from a 50 to 100 meters depth needed (shallow. [[Household_and_community_pumps_-_Shallow,_0-20m|Shallow]] pumps, 0-20m, and [[Household_and_community_pumps_-_Medium,_20-50m|Medium]] pumps, medium20-50m, deep)are also available. The household-sized handpumps are for smaller groups, and the community ones are more robust and durable for groups up to 300 people. However, keep in mind the following qualities in choosing the right handpump for your situation:
* '''Corrosion resistance''': Pumps should be corrosion-resistant. Iron taints water and food, stains clothing, and tastes bad.
* '''Ease of repair''': Household repairs require different organisation and maintenance responsibilities than community repairs.
* '''Yield, user preference''': Users prefer pumps that have a high yield and an attractive look and feel.
