Addressing Increasing Needs for Safe Water Through Motorized LifePump Upgrade
The problem: increasing demand
As many LifePump™ communities grow in population and people continue to flock to LifePump for safe water, a higher flow rate is often needed to meet increasing demand. autoLifePump™ allows a solar-powered electric motor to be added to LifePump to address these needs.
The Solution: autoLifePump
For communities that have a high demand for water but do not have the resources to support a submersible pumping system and all their associated costs and maintenance, autoLifePump provides a motorized pumping option at a fraction of the cost.
A pump that operates with zero downtime is critical for sustainable development; autoLifePump provides near 100% uptime. When there is not enough sunlight to power the electric motor, autoLifePump’s auxiliary handle is there to provide safe water 24/7.
As communities grow, they can upgrade their LifePump to autoLifePump easily and affordably, guaranteeing sustainable water access they need to thrive.

Traditional manual handle is available as a secondary pumping option.
How autoLifePump Works
- Upgrades a standard LifePump with minimal effort and cost.
- Increases flow rate 2 to 3 times depending on solar intensity and borehole refresh rate capacity.
- Provides manual backup system for users to switch from electric to manual operation.
How autoLifePump Alleviates Global Poverty
- Provides a cost-effective option for increased access to safe water for a growing community without the need of additional boreholes or expensive, unreliable infrastructure.
- Supports communities as they grow and develop.
- Ensures near 100% uptime with an auxiliary handle for a manual pumping option when solar power is not available.
