Great for pumping from a creek, river, shallow well, dam, or tank.
The Aermotor Syphon Pump is designed to pump from a water source that is offset from the windmill, while the Syphon Pump is mounted directly below the mill. The Syphon Pump consists of a standard Flush Cap Pump, mounted within a cast iron outer chamber.
This outer cast iron chamber acts as a reservoir, holding water to feed the brass Flush Cap Pump. This means the pump is always "primed'. This will eliminate all suction problems associated with pumping from a remote water source. The top cap of the Syphon Pump is fitted with a Differential Compensator to enable the water to be pumped to a height above the pump.

- Easy servicing - all components are above the ground

- Multi-directional outlet
- Two sizes - small chamber to suit 2", 2.1/4", 2.1/2", and large to suit 2.3/4", 3", 3.1/2", & 4"
The Syphon Pump can draw water from a surface supply such as dam, creek, river, or tank. The low water level in the surface supply should not be more than 5 Metres below the Syphon Pump top cap. The Syphon Pump, which is mounted directly below the windmill could be situated up to 200 Metres away - provided that the total suction head is no greater than 5 Metres.
