Nira Pumps Oy wanted to give me a frost-free water pump. I stubbornly decided to install it myself, even though the company advised me to have a helper. Since Kerttu doesn't know how to use pipe pliers, the installation was tricky in places, but I managed! It may not have been easy, let alone pretty to look at, but water comes out, and I'm really grateful for the pump. Life became surprisingly much easier when you don't have to bend down into the well or hack off the frozen well cover. The best thing is of course safety, when you don't have to worry about falling into the well. The pump is a Nira 3B model. Finnish Nira Pumps Oy has designed, manufactured and marketed Nira hand pumps for over 100 years. Decades of experience, expertise and product development have led to Nira pumps being extremely reliable and durable even in extreme conditions. That's why Nira pumps are used in applications all over the world, from the heat and dust of Africa to the extreme freezing temperatures of the Arctic.
