The '''Super MoneyMaker Pressure Pump''' was launched in October 1998, in response to a demand by farmers for a pump that can push water uphill as well as simply pulling it up from the source. This means it is suitable for use on steeply sloping land where the water source may be at the bottom. Thousands use it to pump water from hand-dug wells, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. It is ideal for sprinkler irrigation, filling overhead water tanks, or for use with nozzles and sprays attached to the end of the delivery hose. This powerful pump can draw water up from 23 feet (7m) and has a total pumping head of 46 feet (14m). It can be used to irrigate up to 2 acres of land.
It is essentially the [[Treadle pump]] by design. The '''MoneyMaker Hip Pump''' is unique sucks the water to KickStart; developed to create the cylinder, then pressurizes it, sending it through a lower cost and lighter weight, portable pump. It debuted in stores in 2006. Sales and marketing efforts began in 2008crude sprinkler over the crop. The new pump sells for about $30, installation is very light (only 4.5 kg or less than 10 pounds), not fixed and the pump can irrigate an acrebe moved around. A great deal of work went into designing a super efficient valve box, but the genius of the design is a simple pivot hinge

The 48-year-old Malian from Dogon Country was a victim of living on credit and borrowing from friends. He moved to Mali’s capital Bamako eleven years ago in search of work to support his wife and children. He began working as a security guard in a private residence and gardening a 150 sq meter plot of land not far from his home. But he says it was never enough to cover his basic needs of food, clothes and medicine for his four children. Mahmoud’s average salary as a security guard is 200,000 CFA per year, or approximately $US400. To increase his annual income, he decided to build a bigger garden, 2012but he was skeptical about how he would water a larger plot of land. Then he said he saw an advertisement about Kickstart's Money Maker irrigation pump, over 33known locally as “nafasoro,400 ” on television and decided to buy it. He didn’t have been soldthe money, so he approached his boss for a loan. Both men agreed it was a tangible asset that would provide a profitable and quick return of investment. Mahmoud bought the pump in October of 2008. Since then he has almost doubled his annual income from $US400 to $US700 by selling fruits and vegetables. The additional cash flow is allowing him to pay off some debts while being able to provide for his family. ===Costs===The Super MoneyMaker pump costs about US$ 100.The smaller alternative, the [[MoneyMaker hip pump]] costs about US$ 35. ===Manuals, videos links===* I.V.
