This approach has the potential to use university students’ access to resources and testing equipment in furthering the development of appropriate technology. Please see: Joshua M.

Do you have a prototype or a working model that I could buy from you? As it will live outside, my preference would be for a metal rather than wood structure. Many thanks Lori Moore I have been trying to purchase a treadle pump for my off grid property in Ontario for over 2 years including trying to find one from India and Africa. Do you have a prototype or a working model that I could buy from you? As it will live outside, my preference would be for a metal rather than wood structure.

Many thanks
