Impact Pumps could completely revolutionise global water access…
The Impact Pumps Solution
Our Impact Pumps Solution is designed to provide sustainable, reliable and affordable community water access, replacing traditional, loss-making hand-pumps with systems that will pay for themselves.
By enabling our customers to make a surplus, they can catalyse capital markets and hybrid finance to scale, rather than relying on ever larger donations. Funded water campaigns will have a much greater impact – expanding services without needing to cover recurrent operating losses.
The Impact Pumps solution has been designed to deliver market-leading service levels while, for the first time ever, covering costs and making a profit serving communities of 150 – 1000 people.
In areas without access to grid electricity, the most common water access solutions rely on hand pumps.
While hand pumps can be operated without fuel or electricity, they require continued and costly maintenance.
Global handpump reliability is often 60% to 75% at any one time.
The costs to improve this to an acceptable level can result in significant annual losses.
