'Glockemann'© water pumps
'Glockemann'© water pumps
The 'Glockemann'© is designed to operate on a minimal drive head or drop. A drop of just 0.6 metre (24'') will enable the 'Glockemann' to push 1300 litres a day to a 50 metre (165 feet) head, enough for the daily needs of the average family, and some for the garden.
The 'Glockemann'© can be installed virtually anywhere there is a constant flow of water and a small 'drop' available.
Because our pumps need only a small drop to operate there is no need for long straight, metal drive tubes.
Use light plastic sewer pipe with 30, 45 or 90 elbows to suit your site. The adjustable throttle allows the user to regulate the 'Glockemann'©, in dry times, when the flow in the creek begins to fall, just turn it down, to as little as 25% capacity.
The 'Glockemann'© is equipped with an easily interchangeable 'piston bore' which allows the user to select the correct load ratio for their site, small 'bore' for high lifts, large 'bore' for low lifts.
Having few moving parts and no metal to metal action means there is practically no wear. This means absolute minimal maintenance. Under normal circumstances it will be necessary to replace the leather piston cup, a ten minute job, every 6-9 months and perhaps the diaphragm rubber every 1-2 years, a 30 minute job.
Developed, tested and proven over years of operation in some of the wildest terrain imaginable. The 'Glockemann'© is built to take punishment. The 320 Oasis has full a cast iron casing and components of tough stainless steel.
Simplicity of design is the key to the 'Glockemann's'© reliability, consciously designed as a low tech, low maintenance pump, the few moving parts the 'Glockemann'© has are mounted on long lasting hard wearing rubber, there is no metal to metal action at all.
A pleasing attribute of the 'Glockemann'©is its noiseless operation, no banging or loud mechanical noises. Stand alongside while it is operating, listen carefully and all you will hear is the soft swish of water being expelled as the 'Glockemann' steadily pumps away.
Once installed the 'Glockemann'© is virtually cost free, no petrol, diesel or electricity costs.
