Can a 19-HP Hand Pump be used to pressurize a water system?

No! The 19-HP is an open top, shallow well, pump with an open spout. This type of of hand pump cannot be used to create pressure.

For creating pressure, you will require a closed top hand pump which is also referred to as a sanitary hand pump.

We suggest you reach out to one of the two manufacturers listed below. They offer closed top, sanitary, shallow well and deep well hand pumps with cylinders for pumping from static water levels as deep as 325 feet.

This closed top suction pump is a shallow well hand pump and are the only hand-operated suction pumps that can pump into your pressure tank! With the ability to lift up to 25 feet of water you have the perfect backup pump to get the full use of your well water inside and outside your home.
