It is designed for family use, serving up to 100 persons. The maximum possible lift is 7 m. The No. 6 pump is a public domain pump defined by RWSN specifications. It is easy to install and has excellent potential for community based maintenance.
 
This pump is like all Suction Pumps limited to pumping lifts of a maximum of 8 m. It is not recommended to go deeper than 6-7 m. The No 6 Pump is not designed for a high daily output; it is rather a family or small community pump. If the foot valve looses its priming, water needs to be added to start the pumping again. This includes the danger of contamination.
==Suitable conditions==
Distribution: several millions in Bangladesh and India.
