Why Solar Dual Pump is a must for every village’s development!

Access to a safe, sustainable water supply is a growing concern in every village in India. Sadly, even in 2021, there are hundreds of villages where people, especially ladies, have to walk miles to fetch the little water required for the day.

In slightly developed areas, groundwater is being pumped by diesel-fuelled systems, which are both expensive and can be difficult to maintain.

In communities where electricity is scarce, solar water pumps can be a part of the solution.

But Solar Pumps also come with their limitations.

Needless to say, Solar Pumps work solely on solar energy. And might not work under extreme cloudy conditions or in dark.

With this thought, Span Pumps came up with the Highly Engineered and Innovative Solar Dual Pumps!

What is a Solar Dual Pump?

The solar dual pumps is an innovative pump designed to utilize the power of the sun during the day and act like a normal hand pump when the solar energy is not available, hence assuring uninterrupted water supply for drinking, sanitation, personal hygiene etc. The system consists of a submersible pump that runs on power generated from the photovoltaic solar cells and is suitable for use on bore-wells with 100 mm (and above) diameter up to 80-90 meters depth. In practice a solar array is installed near the bore well, a submersible pump powered with DC motor is installed below the hand pump cylinder. The pump is connected to a storage tank and the collected water is dispensed through a stand post. This system can also be used on other water sources such as open wells or tanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why Solar Dual Pump?

Self-Sustainable, Independent Water Supply

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solar Pumps are known for their sustainability. They do not rely on any electric supply or wired connections to work on. Leaving you with a choice of pumping out groundwater at any time of the day.

This also enables the possibility to use solar dual pumps in extremely remote areas where electrical connections are not available at all

 

Time saviour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Collecting water for daily needs is majorly done by women who are already in hurry for other chores. This rush might have them come back with a very little amount of water from the water nearby source and make them spend the whole day with that amount of water only

As there’s a fully automatic water pump installed in the Solar Dual Pump system, it makes the water pumping much faster and efficient.

Anyone can pump as much water as required in very little time.

 

Better health

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In most of the villages, water pumping is a manual activity.

Women walk for miles through forests, mountains, rocks and whatnot, to find the water source and come back through the same roads carrying water containers with them.

Which results in injuries, fatigue, accidental injuries, illness because of bad weather conditions etc.

Having a water pump in the village itself helps to avoid all the above mishaps.

Women can get as much water they want very comfortably in their neighbourhood. Which helps them maintain their good health and wellbeing while saving a lot of time

 

Improved personal hygiene & sanitation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of children and women in the rural region suffer from various types of infections or illnesses just because they do not have access to basic hygiene facilities. As basic as washing hands, all because of lack of sufficient water.

Once there is a solid and consistent water source available, villagers can be made aware of the hygiene & sanitation practices that will lead them to a healthier lifestyle.

 

Improved school infrastructure & education quality

There is a lack of basic infrastructure in almost every school in Indian villages. Schools don’t even have toilets, handwash facilities or even good drinking water.

That results in kids being sick most of the time and not attending school. Which make them take a step back in education.

If a school installs a Solar Dual Pump in the vicinity, the kids and teachers can have clean toilets, handwash facilities, clean drinking water, garden & plantation. All of these together make the schools well equipped and help kids take the best of education available.

 

India is still a developing country and we do have some great resources available with us and we can make most of them.

We as a developing nation need to acknowledge and accept the sustainable & environmental-friendly water pumping solutions that will push us to become one great nation!
