This installation by Nature’s Playground features the Bison Shallow Well Hand Pump. When asked about this particular installation, this was the reply: “We used two shallow underground reservoirs connected together. One under the pump and the other at the end of the creek bed. Their purpose is to recycle the water. We hard piped float valves to a main’s water supply to ensure the reservoirs never run out of water. We set the level and the floats maintain the water height. The creek bed was built using local river stones and concreted into position to form a hard water run. This client now has one of these in each of his 5 day care centers.

It is a much bigger, slightly more elaborate version of other pipe structures located on the Pump Station grounds. One pipe, like the branch of a large tree, leaves the Pump Station property, passes over the Pump Station fence and ends with a showerhead twenty-five feet overhead in Buffalo Bayou Park. On the ground below the showerhead is an eightfoot diameter stainless steel drain cover and a contemporary version of an old-fashioned manual well pump. As one pushes down on the pump handle water rains down from the shower head twenty-five feet above. Simultaneously, and as a result of pumping water through the pipes, orange and blue twin beacons on top of the structure flash, signaling people as far away as downtown that another person has doused themselves with a refreshing, albeit brief, shower.” Commissioned by the the Houston Arts Alliance for the City of Houston Sabine Water Pump Station.

It’s important not to keep the garden too perfectly manicured, and it’s just not essential to spend a lot of money.” - JMMDS Blog We always knew hand pumps and kids go together like peanut butter and jelly. Our customers love to send us pictures of their kids with their new Bison Pump. They include stories of how they remember pumping one as a child. A hand pump is a timeless treasure which can be used for its intended purpose of providing life giving water, but may also be incorporated in any setting to teach and provide hours of fun and imagination.

I was sending information about your pumps to some parks folks in Florida and just wanted to thank you for building a better mouse trap (pumps). We have only done preventive maintenance on the pumps and have had no problems with them. I sent your Web Site to my Florida folks and was surprised not to see your custom pumps (dog bone handle) not shown. Parks & Recreation folks would enjoy seeing what you have done for us.
