__NOTOC__
The Canzee hand pump is a direct-action handpump made with corrosion resistant materials such as plastic, stainless steel and wood. The pump uses two PVC pipes inside each other, each with a simple non-return valve made with a rubber flap.

The pump consists of two PVC pipes of different diameter, one inside the other. At the bottom of each pipe is a non-return valve made with a rubber flap which allows water to enter the bottom of the pipe, but not out again.

The Canzee pump is used in Madagascar, where hundreds of pumps have already been installed. Canzee pumps have also been used for years in Kenya, Ecuador, Israel, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Angola and other countries.
