The shallow well hand pitcher pump can be used to pump water from rain barrels or ponds. It can also be used as a drinking-water pump to draw water from a well 20' deep, or less. It attaches to common plumbing connectors, it is very easy to install, and it will provide years of trouble-free use with minimal maintenance.
