Danish Military Surplus Water Hand Pump (24 foot rubber hose) now ordered

 I'm pretty excited to see if this works. Right now I have "too much" water in my mini-forest farm but the forest trees will be drinking up that water. Also I use the water for my Shiitake Mushroom forest farm.

DK HAND WATER PUMP - WITH HOSE - USED

I needed a portable pump so I can use it in the winter if I need to.... and the closet other model to this is polypropylene that will harden up in the winter - also it smells more toxic than rubber.

Danish Military Hand Water Pump

I really like this design - like a bicycle pump!! Very simple yet looks sturdy and portable!!

This cool and useful collectible is a rare find. This hand crafted pump may be decades old but it still works like the day it was made. Featuring a smooth brass cylinder, extra wide wood handle, foot pedal, and brass filter screen on the bottom suction tube. This manual pump has a wide range of uses around the home or farm. You can easily see this tool was made to last. Includes 24’ of rubber hose with brass nozzle. Used, working condition. Genuine European Military Surplus.

My water hole is just about 22 feet deep so this should be perfect length.

No way - the warehouse I ordered from is very close to me? Wild!

I had no idea that shop was in my area. I could have driven there - and saved on shipping cost.

It was about 45 minutes to drive each way...so considering the price of gas - the cost difference isn't that much different. Probably $5 less if I drove.

if I doesn't work then I'll try this one -   

it also uses polypropylene 1 inch pipe but it looks more study and it's less expensive (although the pipe is not included)....

I like the fact that this Danish water pump doesn't have a diaphragm - rather it's a bicycle pump action.

Wow - $111 for rubber 1 inch hose 25 feet long

Polyethylene 25' 1 inch is $45

Hard to find Polypropylene flex pipe!!
