Simmons 1160 Cast Iron Pitcher Pump, 25 Ft Max Suction Lift

The Simmons 1160 Cast Iron Pitcher Pump is a rugged, long-life water pumping solution engineered for durability and dependable performance in outdoor and agricultural applications. Crafted from high-quality close grain cast iron, this pitcher pump is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while delivering reliable water access from wells, ponds, and other sources. Whether you're a farmer needing consistent water delivery, a gardener irrigating plants, or a homeowner seeking a trustworthy outdoor water source, this pump combines robust construction with efficient operation to meet your water pumping needs.

The self-draining design prevents water from lingering inside the pump when the handle is left in the up position, protecting against freezing damage in cold weather—a critical feature for year-round reliability in freeze-prone regions.
