On a cold dry winters day in Lesotho we watched community ladies walking from the valley below carrying 20 liter drums of water. Reaching their dry crops, they laboriously started issuing 1 cup of water per maize stalk as irrigation. Then back down to the river below in the deep valley and reenacting the same process. I was moved with compassion for these ladies (and so many others like them) and decided to create my own aqua ram pump. And so here we are.”

then To Now
Evergreen Gravity Pumps was founded in 2010 by Dillon Byers and Chris Howie.
Over the years, Evergreen Gravity Pumps has pursued excellence and successfully earned recognition as a reliable supplier within the market where we operate.
Evergreen Gravity Pumps has earned a reputation implementing successful projects, for both stand-alone installations or as part of joint ventures. Our partners are diverse, ranging from entrepreneurs who purchase and sell our pumps; to those who are interested in saving costs pumping water; to those who have not had access to piped running water because of their location. We have worked closely with municipalities to provide piped water for use in communities where this was previously not available. This is an area where we expect further growth.
