The P10
Human Powered Sludge Pump
Every day, millions of gallons of human waste are manually removed from septic tanks and latrine pits, typically with shovels and buckets. The emptiers, the residents of the home, and the people in the community are exposed to hazardous conditions and material that can make them ill, sometimes mortally, and have dire effects on all aspects of their lives.
The P10 is being developed specifically to keep manual emptiers out of tanks and make the emptying process cleaner and safer. It was also designed to earn emptiers money: pumping up to 30X faster than other manual methods.
