JOOSTE’s founder Christie Jooste has received multiple awards, of which the most notable the Cullinan Award for Good Engineering in 1993. In the course of time Christie Jooste was awarded another five design awards for creative inventions.

Hailed as a revolutionary breakthrough, the JOOSTE hand pump is designed to operate much lighter than any other on the market. The pump’s cylinder is specially designed to eliminate friction and consequently operates with far less power than a normal cylinder.

The product is suitable for household and rural water supply and can also be used for small-scale irrigation.

The JOOSTE hand pump can be used to pump water from depths of up to 60 metres, by either pulling the handle up or pushing it down, depending on how the pump is assembled.

The pump’s features include:

  • Rapid short stroke to save energy
  • Force head fitted
  • Can lift water up to 10 metres above the surface from a depth of 60m deep boreholes
  • Ideal for pumping water into a tank
  • Interchangeable stroke arm
  • Weight counter balanced by heavy duty spring to facilitate pumping
  • More water with less effort
  • Adjustable leverage for different depths
  • Solid steel construction

Ball Valve

The JOOSTE ball valve is an award winning patent designed to control water levels and provide substantially more water under very low pressures. This makes it extremely suitable for animal drinking troughs. The unique design uses the water pressure to close and therefore also operates very effectively under high pressures if required.
