Pamir Pumps are conventional lever action handpumps. They are designed for heavy-duty use, serving communities of 300 persons. The maximum recommended lift is 60 m for the Pamir Pump. The pumps are not fully corrosion resistant; rods are subject to rusting. The Pamir Pumps are public domain pumps defined by RWSN specifications, only used in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are easy to install and have excellent potential for community-based maintenance. The configuration includes an “open top” cylinder: the piston can be removed from the cylinder without dismantling the rising main. The foot valve is retractable with a fishing tool.

===Suitable conditions===

Distribution: tens of thousands in Pakistan & Afghanistan.<br>

In Pakistan and in Afghanistan, the use of stainless steel components is uncommon; therefore, these pumps should not be used as substitutes for the [[Afridev pump]].

===Construction, operations and maintenance===

Pump head, handle and pump stand are made of galvanised steel, pump rods of mild steel, rising main of PVC-U pipe (Ø63 mm), cylinder of PVC-U pipe with brass liner (Ø50 mm), plunger and foot valve are of plastic. These pumps are not fully corrosion resistant, the rods are subject to corrosion.

This pump has an excellent “Community Management Potential”, it is reliable, easy to repair by a village caretaker and popular with the communities.
