A water well pump is a pump that is used in extracting water from a water well.

They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps:

  • manual pumpless/hand pump wells requiring a human operator
  • mechanical or rotary pump requiring mechanical parts to pump water
  • solar water pumps
  • DC Submersible Well Pump
  • Pumps driven by air as used by the Amish
  • Pumps driven by air as used in the Australian outback.

The pump replaces the use of a bucket and pulley system to extract water.
