Hand pump is an indispensable device in places without access to electricity. Dambat’s IBO range includes both hand pumps for wells and specialized hand fuel pumps and oil pumps. Depending on your needs, you can choose a wing pump, a manual hydraulic pump, or a decorative hand-pumped Abyssinian well. These pumps are highly versatile and resistant to damage, making them an excellent solution for allotments, gardens, or workshops. Regardless of the application, every hand pump offers convenient operation and independence from mains power.
Hand pumps for wells and gardens – Abyssinian wells
One of the best-known versions of a hand pump for a well is the Abyssinian well pump—a cast-iron piston pump used to draw water from underground sources. An Abyssinian hand pump for a deep well has a simple yet robust design. It operates באמצעות a piston and a steel rod which, using a hand lever, pump water from the well. Devices of this type often also serve a decorative function in gardens, adding character to their surroundings. In addition, they are virtually trouble-free and easy to maintain.
An Abyssinian well can be equipped with an electric pump for an Abyssinian well or a combustion-engine pump for an Abyssinian well; traditionally, however, the manual version is used, for example, on allotments and in gardens. Manual drilling of an Abyssinian well, digging an Abyssinian well, and its installation are possible in locations where the groundwater level is not too high. Drilling does not require heavy equipment, making the entire process more accessible. Thanks to their versatility, these wells are popular both in Poland and abroad.
We offer complete equipment, including pipes for Abyssinian wells and decorative components. An Abyssinian well with an electric pump can be used interchangeably with a manual one, depending on the availability of electricity and the user’s preferences. The system can also be integrated with a hydrophore installation, increasing operating comfort. Our products are resistant to corrosion and weather conditions, ensuring reliable service for years.
Wing pumps for water, fuel, and oil
The range also includes hand fuel pumps, such as a wing-type hand fuel pump. The K1, K2, and K3 versions differ in capacity and connection size. A hand-operated oil pump or manual oil pump is ideal when liquid must be transferred in a controlled and safe manner. These products are perfect for mechanics, farmers, and DIY enthusiasts. Easy operation and no need for an electricity supply make them extremely practical for everyday use.
These models are used as manual garden pumps, manual water pumps, and pumps for technical fluids. A manual hydraulic pump is also used in low-pressure industrial hydraulic systems. Thanks to their compact design, they can also be used as components of emergency systems. They are also used in mobile service kits.
PR-50 hand pump – for pressure testing
The PR-50 manual hydraulic pump is a professional tool for conducting pressure tests in water, heating, compressed-air, and solar installations. The pump is equipped with a 12-liter tank, which also serves as a water reservoir. The set includes a pressure hose with a connection fitting. Simple operation and a clear pressure gauge make it easier to monitor pressure values. It is a reliable tool for any installer who values precision and independence.
Thanks to manual operation, working pressure can be achieved without a power supply. The device is easy to use, mobile, and exceptionally durable, which is why it is often part of installers’ equipment. A piston-type hand pump for oil or water ensures precise pressure increase and leak testing. The PR-50 is ideal for use in the field or wherever access to energy is limited. Users value its robust construction and trouble-free operation, even after many seasons of use.
Applications of the PR-50 pump:
- leak testing of water, heating, and compressed-air installations,
- filling solar systems,
- testing pressure vessels and boilers,
- injecting antifreeze into central-heating systems.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is a manual water pump used for?
A manual water pump is used to draw water from shallow wells, tanks, or containers. It is ideal for gardens, allotments, and places without access to electricity.
What is the difference between a hand fuel pump and a water pump?
Fuel pumps have special seals resistant to contact with petroleum-based liquids. A water pump is not designed to work with petrol or diesel fuel.
Does a hand pump for a deep well work without electricity?
Yes, all hand pumps, including Abyssinian well pumps, operate without a power supply. They only require human muscle power to drive the pump piston.
