Abstract

A water pumping system that is operable to use air from an air pump to provide positive pressure to a submersible pump submersed in a body of water so as to provide extraction of water for use. The water pumping system includes a surface mounted air pump located proximate a body of water that is operable to produce an airflow exiting therefrom and is directed to the submersible pump. The submersible pump includes a first chamber and a second chamber that are parallel in manner and substantially hollow. The first chamber and second chamber are operably coupled with a union and have an opening opposite thereto. An air nozzle receives air from the air pump and forces air into openings of the first chamber and second chamber so as to move a piston therein to evacuate water from the first chamber and second chamber during downward movement of the piston.
