Village Water Supply with a Mono Solar Pump

Village Water Supply with a Mono Solar Pump

ugandaMore than 1 billion people are denied the right to clean water and 2.6 billion people lack access to adequte sanitation. These statistics, taken from the 'Human Development Report 2006' by the United Nations Development Program, highlight the extent of the global water crisis. It is Mono's goal to play a part in bringing water to every human being. A huge challenge but one we feel adequately equipped to face.

Mono began installing solar pumps in 1985 and since this time we have supplied in excess of 17,000 systems. As such we have over 20 years experience of supplying pumps into some of the harshest environments in the world.

In developing countries nearly all surface water is contaminated and therefore not 'safe drinking water'. The most commonly used 'safe' water source is from underground boreholes. Some form of pump is required to remove water from a borehole.

The most common pumps used in remote communities are:

  • Hand pumps
  • Direct drive diesel driven borehole pumps
  • Electric submersible pumps with diesel generator
  • Solar submersible pumps

The advantages of a solar pumps are:

  • water carryingThey can produces many 1000's of litres of water every day
  • The system can typically serve 10 times more people than a hand pump
  • Excess capacity can be stored in an elevated tank
  • Low maintenance costs
  • No fuel costs
  • Easy to install
  • Simple and reliable
  • No operator required
  • Can pump to elevated storage tanks
  • High flow output
  • Zero carbon emissions
  • 20 year life
