HPV30-2000: A Revolutionary Manual Water Pump for Japan

In a significant development for disaster preparedness, Ogushi Drilling Corporation from Fujishi, Shizuoka Prefecture, is excited to announce the launch of the HPV30-2000 manual pump in Japan. This innovative water source, developed by French company Vergnet Hydro, has been a key fixture in over 100,000 water supply projects across Africa for the past 50 years, supported by Official Development Assistance (ODA). Ogushi is the sole distributor of this patented technology in Japan, and early models have already received high acclaim, quickly selling out in the domestic market.

Addressing Social Challenges

The adoption of manual pumps like the HPV30-2000 is crucial in Japan, where historical natural disasters have highlighted the need for reliable water access. Traditionally, the country has an abundance of well-established pump manufacturers with standard products. However, the initial reluctance to adopt new models stemmed from the fact that most conventional pumps were enclosed or covered, making them difficult to use on a daily basis. The rising frequency of earthquakes has significantly increased the demand for user-friendly disaster preparedness solutions.

Recognizing the urgent need for easy-to-use safety equipment, the HPV30-2000 has been praised for its innovative design and functionality. The previous model was notably installed in Shinjuku Park in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, showcasing its disaster resilience and aesthetic appeal. Households across Japan have also begun to embrace these pumps, leading to a resurgence in trust and safety in manual water sourcing technology.

Product Overview of HPV30-2000

The HPV30-2000 manual pump is capable of drawing water from a depth of up to 30 meters without the need for electricity. Its unique design minimizes moving parts, eliminating protrusions common in traditional hand pumps that can cause injuries, making it safe for children to operate. With virtually no wear-and-tear components below ground, the HPV30-2000 requires little to no maintenance and is built for long-lasting durability even in harsh environments. Its polyethylene riser is resilient against seismic shifts, ensuring consistent water access regardless of geological changes.

The pump’s sleek design allows it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, making it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any location. In August 2025, it was successfully implemented as an emergency well at an elementary school in Shinagawa, further proving its reliability and functionality in real-world settings.

Leadership Insight

Kunitaka Ogushi, President of Ogushi Drilling Corporation, emphasized the importance of reliable water sources in Japan, particularly in light of frequent disasters. He stated, “Expanding our power-free water sources directly contributes to protecting lives in our communities, which is our mission as well drillers. The HPV30-2000, with its simple appearance and high safety standards, perfectly fits this role. We aim to make emergency wells a familiar presence in everyday life.”

Future Developments

Ogushi Drilling Corporation plans to actively promote the HPV30-2000 for use in municipalities, schools, businesses, and welfare facilities, ensuring efficient water access both during normal times and in emergencies. Additionally, the pump can be retrofitted to existing wells, enhancing the disaster preparedness of established water facilities throughout Japan.
