Strong design, limited low-cost maintenance
The heavy duty bearings are self lubricating and all other parts are in fact "over designed" and need not to be replaced from time to time.

The pump will therefore not stop working due to spare parts wearing out; maintenance is simple and can be done by local people with local available materials and require no special tools, equipment or training.

Estimated lifetime
The lifetime of the pump can only be estimated and is expected to be 10+ years in normal conditions without changing any spare parts.

Replace old handpumps
The pump fits perfect on the old pedestrial of an India pump or an Afridev handpump. In less than a few hours the old pump can be replaced by an BluePump; it can't be easier. One man can do the job in just a few hours, no special toold required.|

The old pedestrial can stay in the concrete and for more stability, the blue box of the BluePump can be fixed into 4 new anchor bolts in a concrete basement that is made around the old pedestrial pipe.

Lease concept maintenance
Due to its reliablity and good performance, the BluePump is very suitable to be used in a lease concept, for instance to replace an old, broken down handpump. In the lease concept, a community is only paying a few hundred dollars for the installation of the pump ( 5 - 10 US$ per family) and later also 5 - 10 US$ per familily per year for the rental and preventive maintenance of the handpump by a Regional Maintenance Team (RMT).

The BluePump represents a new, modern vision for Rural Water Supply:

"... where people have sustainable and reliable access to safe water, with modern and light to use equipment that can be maintained at very low costs ..."

Already over 225 BluePumps installed in 14 countries ...
