Water pump from Swiss company Ennos

This water pump operates using solar power directly and features a built-in solar controller. It is manufactured by a Swiss company, possibly “Ennos”.

Although the price of this pump in Uganda is relatively high, making it more suitable for affluent individuals or companies, it has a notable advantage. It is capable of pumping water over long distances, reaching up to 2 kilometers. This makes it particularly useful for small-scale mining operations where water sources may be far from the mining site, allowing for the transportation of water from a distant location to the operation area.

However, the water supply provided by this pump may not be sufficient for direct mining purposes. Instead, it can be utilized for collecting water in tanks for later use, providing a steady and reliable water source when needed.
