IRRIGATION PUMP IN
DUG WELL
IRON MAN irrigation pumps are capable of pumping large amounts of water up limited elevations. These are the largest pumps available for use with water pumping windmills. IRON MAN irrigation pumps offer a dependable solution for lifting up to 65,000 gallons (250M 3) per hour when the pumping elevation is small. Generally, they are used to lift water up to a maximum of about 100ft (30M). These large pumps ask for little attention and are easy to maintain. The plunger and lower check valve being removable for servicing without having to remove the well pipe. Special materials are used allowing for an exceptionally long life. All IRON MAN Irrigation pump cylinders are lined with a heavy polished Stainless Steel liner for many years of dependable service. IRON MAN irrigation pumps operate smoothly and feature a special valve mechanism that eliminates the problem with pounding that is a common with large windmill pumps. Our irrigation pumps are available ready for installation with the proper well pipe, heavy duty pump rod, protective cover and all parts required for installation and use.

IRON MAN irrigation pumps offer a dependable solution for lifting up to 65,000 gallons (250M3) per hour when the pumping elevation is about 3ft (1M). These large pumps ask for little attention and are easy to maintain.
WELL PUMP IN DRILLED WELL
IRON MAN WINDMILLS are commonly used to pump from drilled wells of various depths to 1200ft (400M). Water can be pumped to elevations far above the top of the well by using an IRON MAN pump rod seal. A variety of pumps are available for every application from shallow well, light duty service to deep well pumps for heavy duty service for use with extreme pressures. IRON MAN WINDMILL CO. produces the largest windmill pumps available anywhere. We regularly produce high volume well pumps in any size including sizes over 3ft (1M) in diameter. Our deep well pumps allow all serviceable parts to be easily removed. The piston can connect to the foot valve by lowering the pump rod till it makes contact with the foot valve. Then turn the pump rod till it is connected to the foot valve and then lift the pump rod to the surface with all serviceable parts attached. There is no need to pull the well pipe.

Different types of pump rod is available and is selected depending on the length and pumping load. Pump rods are available in galvanized solid steel with forged or straight threaded ends, hot galvanized airtight steel rods that reduce the pumping load as this type of rod is lighter and has a tendency to float and pultruded fiberglass rod with bonded galvanized steel or stainless steel threaded ends.

Steel well pipe is available with ends threaded to any NP, ISO, BS, Z & ZG standards and has the ends heavily reamed to insure installation and removal of the pump piston and foot valve without damage to the seals. We use seamless steel tubing for all our well pipe and have it hot galvanized after all threading and machine work is completed. The pipe is then checked for straightness. Excess zinc is removed from the threads with a special process that retains enough of the zinc coating to provide adequate protection but allows the threads to fit properly. Welded flanges are also available and are desirable when used in rural areas far from access to threading equipment. All well pipe comes ready to use. Pipe with weld flanges comes with all flanges welded and pressure tested and comes with the necessary hot galvanized nuts, bolts and seals. Threaded pipe comes with the appropriate galvanized steel connectors. Well pipe is available in 3M or 6M lengths, as required. We can provide your pump with all pipe, fittings, pump rod, pipe clamps, well seal, pump rod seal, stand pipe and all other parts need, pre fitted and ready to install.

IRON MAN irrigation pumps offer a dependable solution for lifting up to 65,000 gallons (250M3) per hour when the pumping elevation is about 3ft (1M). Generally, they are used to lift water up to a maximum of about 50ft (16M). These large pumps ask for little attention and are easy to maintain.
WELL PUMP IN DRILLED WELL
WITH STAND PIPE
This common application is similar to the application listed above. It is commonly used for applications where the water is being pumped to a destination below 4/5's the height of the tower. Higher pumping elevations require the use of an IRON MAN pump rod seal.

PUMPING FROM A RIVER OR LAKE
IRON MAN draw pumps provide a simple solution to the problem of pumping from rivers, lakes, tanks and any other source where it is not practical to locate the pump below water level and is necessary to draw the water up to the pump. works well as long as the total draw elevation is not over 20ft (7M), For best results, keep the draw lift as short as possible. Draw pipe must be well sealed and be free of air leaks. The use of an IRON MAN foot valve is required and is provided with the pump.

PUMP IN STONE DRAIN
A practical, if not commonly used method of pumping water from a variety of sources when it is not possible to use a well. The stone drain is usually dug with a backhoe or excavator, but can also be dug by hand with proper planing. The ditch is then filled with course gravel that provides a path for the water to flow to and surround a standard shallow well pump that is placed in a protective casing.

HEAVY DUTY CABLE OPERATED
REMOTE PUMPING SYSTEM
It is not always possible to locate a windmill directly over the well or pump. The IRON MAN cable operated pumping system solves this problem by allowing the pump to be operated remotely from the windmill. These pumping systems operate efficiently and dependably providing many years of dependable heavy duty pumping service. The windmill and cable transmission can be located at an elevation higher or lower than the cable operated pump. Here we show the heavy duty IRON MAN cable transmission used with the cable pumping system shown below.

HEAVY DUTY REMOTE
CABLE OPERATED PUMP
The IRON MAN heavy duty remote cable operated pump is the working end of the system. Virtually all types of windmill pumps can be operated remotely by this method. The water source can be of any type, including drilled well, large open dug well, reservoir, tank, spring liver, lake pond, stone drain and pipeline are amongst the many possibilities.

Pumps that can be operated by this system are: Shallow well, deep well, irrigation, special purpose, industrial pumps, sewage pumps etc. All types of pump rod seals and pressure chambers can be used. This is a versatile system requiring little maintenance. These systems are designed and built to order for specific applications.

MEDIUM DUTY REMOTE
CABLE OPERATED PUMP
A small cable operating system for use with the IRON MAN Hand Pump. This system is made for use primarily with smaller windmills such as an 8ft or 10ft diameter windmill. These are specially built to order to suit the needs of a specific application. Can also be easily switched over for use with a hand lever. Hand pump and well should be within 100 ft of windmill.

MEDIUM DUTY REMOTE CABLE
OPERATED PUMP WITH DIESEL BACKUP
Same as above, but with the addition of a powered pump jack. Can be easily switched over for operation by wind, hand, electric power or a small Iron Man water cooled single cylinder diesel engine. Hand pump and well should be within 100 ft of windmill.
