There are many different types of homestead pumps. Some pumps depend on where you live or what you prefer, however, the concept is, all the same, deliver water. Water is what is important to you and that is what the pumps are designed to do.

One pump type is the Reciprocating Displacement Pump. This pump uses pistons that go up and down to draw water from the ground. Water can be moved by pushing or pulling but can also be displaced by a solid object going in the way.

Another type of pump is a Piston or Bucket Pump. Water is sucked into a cylinder and the piston valve is held closed while this causes water to be pushed out of the spout. This is the most commonly known pump and the most used pump.

Double Acting Piston Pump is a pump where water can be utilized in the pushing and pulling action. This is a Double Acting Piston Pump. This pump is unlike the Single Piston Pump because it will have water out the spout on both pushes and pull whereas the other will only have water on the push.

There are many different types of pumps and they all work differently. Many have different ways of bringing you water but they are all the same in one way, they deliver water to you. Some are more advanced than others. Some are more old fashioned, however, it is what the user prefers and what they want on their land.
