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 Pump sucks the water to the cylinder, then pressurizes it, sending it through a crude sprinkler over the crop. The pump installation is not fixed and the pump can be moved around.

The Super MoneyMaker Pump is KickStart's best-selling pump with over 163,200 sold to date.

A great deal of work went into designing a super efficient valve box, but the genius of the design is a simple pivot hingepdf MoneyMaker Pumps: Creating Wealth in Sub-Saharan Africa]]]

By attaching a “Hand Pump” to a hinged platform, we’ve changed the body mechanics-- allowing users to use their leg, body weight, and momentum, rather than the small muscles of the upper back and shoulders. This allows the pump be easily used to irrigate an acre or more.===Suitable conditions===

Like our Super MoneyMaker{|border="1" cellpadding="5"|-|Pumping depth (Lift):|max 9 m|-|Cylinder diameter: |121mm|-|Stroke: |Variable about 120 mm|-|Yield: |(75 watt input, the Hip Pump can pull water from 7 meters and push water an additional 14 meters above the pumpat 5 m head) ~ 3 m³/hour|-|Population/Area served:|0.1 hectare|-|Type of well: |River or pond |}

====Materials====Pump cylinders: (or junction box): Pump Manifold: fabricated from 2.5mm steel sheet; Non-return Valves: two pairs of non-return valves, one on the inlet side of the pump and another on the outlet. The valve type is flapper type, made of circular rubber; Piston Assembly: Piston-mild steel with plastic seal (cup Seal); The piston assembly constitutes the piston rod made of 25mm x 6mm and 5.5mm thick rubber seals (cups); Treadles: are made of box section steel. ====Installation and Maintenance====The installation of the Money Maker pump is easy and does not need any lifting equipment or special tools. This pump has an excellent potential for maintenance by the users. All repairs can be done without the use of tools. ===Field experiences===
