→‎Suitable Conditions

|-

| valign="top" | - Comfort of having water supply in the house <br>

- Can pump directly into an elevated storage tank, avoiding water handling in buckets <br>

- Can be built and repaired by users themselves <br>

- Very cheap (less than one tenth of a rope pump in Nicaragua)<br>

- Saves time <br>

- It is not very costly <br>| valign="top" | - Less resistant to very intensive use and mistreatment than metal pumps. <br>- Output is on down-stroke. That makes it slightly more complicated to fit a lever or treadle.<br>- Individual households have to spend time and money on maintenance of the tank, etc<br>
