I am looking for a hand pump for water.

Any ideas???

I went through exactly this recently myself, now www.machinemart.co.uk do
sell them but they told me they were not really meant for practical use,
even though they advertise them as being able to pump from 5m below ground.

Machine Mart pumps do work, but you have to prime them (pour water in
the top) every time you want to use them. We have one beside the sink in
the kitchen and it works fine. It was, however, the third one we tried,
having returned two defunct models... We really wanted one ;-)
