Identification

SwissIntech offers an innovative solar water pump solution that meets essential needs that are too often not satisfied. Pumpilo® is a reliable and affordable integrated solar solution, working even in poor sunlight. It preserves water by exploiting low flow sources. Pumpilo® can operate over long distances or important elevation and is able to desalt brackish water and purifies contaminated water into drinking water. umpilo®'s long lifetime, with reduced maintenance, provides a sustainable, profitable, and ecologically healthy solution for individuals, communities and small farm holders.
