    Why choose BluePumps?
    Paul van Beers, manager of the BluePump Project explains the success of the BluePump to the
    “focus on quality & simplicity”, which has lead to the three main advantages of the BluePump:

    Durable
    The BluePump works up to 100m deep, is virtually unbreakable and easy to install and maintain.
    Once a BluePump is properly installed, it will last 25+ years without major repairs.

    Affordable
    Due to its longevity, the Operation & Maintenance (O&M) cost is extremely low. This is
    important for people living in rural areas; they rather invest their hard earned money into health,
    food-production etcetera, instead of paying many times per year a huge pump repair bill.

    Service
    BluePumps and spare parts are always available through a network of reliable country dealers in
    Africa and can also be ordered online directly with us in The Netherlands.
