Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly
Submersible pump integration component — the industry's first inline valve assembly enabling true zero-switch dual-pump well operation.
The Simple Pump Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly makes true inline dual-pump operation possible in a single well.
This proprietary check-valve tee threads directly into your drop pipe, connecting a compatible submersible pump to your Simple Pump cylinder using standard NPT fittings. When the submersible runs, system pressure opens the valve automatically. When you operate the hand pump, vacuum closes the valve and isolates the submersible.
No manual valve switching. No re-plumbing. No compromises.
The Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly is the critical connection component that allows a solar or electric submersible and a Simple Pump hand pump to operate independently in the same well column.
Compatible with Workhorse Narrow Series and other NPT-threaded submersibles. Submersible pumps and hand pump systems sold separately. Manufactured by Simple Pump in the USA and backed by a 15-year warranty.
Do You Need More Water than You Can Physically Pump?
Upgrade from manual pumping while keeping backup capability
Manual Pumping Fatigue
Hand pumping 50+ gallons daily becomes exhausting and time-consuming
Single Point of Failure
Submersible pumps leave you stranded during any power interruption
Emergency Preparedness Gap
When disaster strikes, you need water access regardless of grid status
Don't Wait for Emergency to Strike
The best time to install a backup water system is before you need it. When the power goes out, it's too late to wish you had prepared.
What the Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly Is
The Inline Dual-Pump Valve Assembly is a valve component — not a complete pump system. It is the connection piece that installs inline in your drop pipe between a compatible submersible pump and your Simple Pump cylinder, enabling both to operate from the same well with no manual switching.
