Maximum static levels depths for the practical use of a hand pump are as
follows:
 1-1/2” Cylinder; up to a 200’ static water level
 2” Cylinder; up to a 200’ static water level
 2 ½” Cylinder; performance equal to the 3” cylinder at the same levels
 3” Cylinder; up to a 100’ static water level
1. The information in the chart is based on actual field tests and is intended as a general guide.
2. The gallons per minute (gpm) output on each cylinder size is based on the Bison Pump being
operated by a 200 lb. male, 6’ tall, stroking the handle sixty times in one minute. Over time, the
gallons-per-minute output is directly related to the physical condition of the operator.
3. The highlighted lines in the chart are approximate limits to each size cylinder (+/- 10%).
4. On static water levels 100’ and greater, the pump should be installed using mechanical lifting and
lowering devices (i.e. electric winch, manual hoist, etc.). This should be done by experienced
installers with appropriate equipment.
5. Always install the pump with safety rope properly tied off and secured. Two people are required
for most installations.
