Pictures & Customer Praise

"First let me say we are DELIGHTED with our Bison hand pump. We installed it for those 'infrequent' times when the power goes out (the joy of rural living) . But i just love it and use it anytime I need to fill my watering can or the dog outside water bowl (which i now keep at the pump right under the pump head)." - Paullette

"A note to thank you again for your excellent service in providing me with the Bison deep well pump. It has served my needs completely, where I had an existing drilled well at the former location of a barn that has been dismantled. The well sat unused for 20 years, with no practical means of getting power to it to install an electric pump. When I heard of your pumps, from an internet search, the information that you provided convinced me that this was the answer for my needs. It meets the water needs on my small hobby farm for 2 horses and 3 donkeys, plus giving me a back-up water source for my other well at the house. The pump, and all associated material & installation instructions, were all of excellent quality, and I had the pump installed and drawing water within two hours of beginning the installation. I was also very imressed with the quality of the workmanship and details that went into the pump design. It has been a very satisfactory experience, and I thank you again for your help and guidance to make this well work for me. Enclosed is a picture of the pump installed on the well casing. Please feel free to give my name for anyone in my area, who may be considering a Bison pump and would like to see one in action. Also please stop by and inspect it yourself if you are sometime in my area. :) Regards Wallace R."

"My Bison Pump is one of the best investments I have ever made.  Not only does it look great, it also is the best working pump I have ever had.  When I decided to put in my well, I searched for the best pump I could buy.  Bison was my choice.  I received more help and information from the company.  I was right in choosing Bison.  When the pump arrived I was concerned as to the installation of the pump, but with the directions afforded from Bison it was a snap.  My wife and mother-in-law helped me assemble and put the pump in place in less than an hour.  We are very pleased with the looks and operation of the pump, and recommend it to everyone.  It is maintenance free and so easy to use that my five year old granddaughter can go out and pump a bucket of water.  I can not say enough about Bison, it's the best.  Thanks for everything!"

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the Bison Pump setup recently installed at our home.

Many people install generators to provide emergency power, but I did not want to go that route for the following reasons:
- Gasoline must be changed or used up from time to time and is getting expensive. An area must be provided that protects from fumes and noise. Hooking into the electrical system requires an electrician and special wiring to keep within code.
    I have been looking for another way to obtain a water supply that is permanent, clean, and safe. I wanted to be independent of gas and electricity if there were a prolonged blackout. My Bison pump, along with a wood stove with a flat surface to heat water, and flourescent lanterns will keep our house comfortable for a long period.    The quality of the pump construction is very high, from the stainless steel to the brass fittings. I am sure this will work trouble free for many years.
    I had expected to pump water from the well and haul it upstairs in pails, but our Bison pump can be connected to our water system and I can keep water flowing from faucets and flushes by hand pumping as needed.
   The Bison Pump will be useful for many people. Recommended without reservation!

"We have a 66' deep well with a 1/2 hp submersible pump. Provided we have electricity. The Great Ice Storm that struck the eastern part of the province in 1999 cut off our power supply for more than two weeks. We were forced to haul buckets of water from our pond for bathing, flushing toilets and watering our animals. Needless to say, we vowed to be better prepared next time, and so we purchased and installed a Bison BPH-125 hand pump. The installation was easy (a couple of hours work), and the pump works great without interfering with our submersible pump. I was particularly impressed by the stainless steel construction and well-fitted parts. My five year old son particularly enjoys pumping water for our livestock, and we are better prepared for emergencies. Thank you for providing us with an excellent product."

"I and my customers are very happy with the Bison Pump. I remember the days when my father and I would struggle most of the day with the old cast iron pumps to repair or replace them. I was just a few minutes all alone adding sections to a Bison Pump when the static level dropped in my customers well."

"The only words that comes to mind to describe my dealings with Bison Pumps is First Class! I was treated like a good neighbor and friend from the very start. They answered all my questions and provided professional assistance to make the whole installation process go smoothly. They even tracked my shipment across the continent into Canada, advising me on its progress. Before I ordered the pump the wife was insistent that she did not want an “old hand pump” visible any where inside her home. Thankfully that all changed when the pump was unpacked. Her first words were, “Who would ever put this outside, it’s too nice to be sitting out in the yard”. Needless to say she’s happy having it in our home and we are both happy for the peace of mind it provides.

Of course all that really mattered to me was if the pump was going to last and what it would take to keep it working. So directly after placing the order I enquired as to what replacement parts I should purchase to ship with the order. The customer service person was silent for a moment and when she spoke sounded a little baffled. She said, “the only thing I can think of is a few O ring washers. But you will probably never need them.” She was right of course. Bison Pumps are built to last a long time which is obvious as soon as you see or pick one up. Definitely one of the best built products I have ever purchased."
