Filter Pump, Edward Type (Product Code: SLE/CH/132) is a nickel plated brass water pump that produces a vacuum once its water inlet is connected to a running tap. It is a sturdy, no-electricity answer to everyday suction jobs in teaching laboratories – speeding up filtration through a Buchner funnel or drawing air out of a vacuum desiccator. The pump is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, and is a long-standing piece of chemistry lab equipment in India’s school, college and university laboratories.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Edward type water filter pump |
| Material | Nickel plated brass |
| Operation | Creates a vacuum when connected to a water supply via the water inlet |
| Driven by | Running water; no motor or electrical supply |
| Typical applications | Suction filtration and other light bench vacuum tasks |
Attach the water inlet to the laboratory tap with rubber tubing held by a hose clip, run the outlet into the sink, and connect the side vacuum port to your filter flask or desiccator with thick-walled vacuum tubing. With the tap turned on fully, the stream passing through the internal jet pulls air out of the connected vessel. The metal body stands up well to the knocks of a busy student laboratory, and the nickel plating keeps the brass from tarnishing at the sink.
Keep the pump roughly upright so that water drains freely, and add a trap bottle between the pump and your apparatus so that a drop in water pressure cannot send tap water back into the filtrate. If suction weakens over time, flush the pump with clean water and check the jet for debris or scale. For purchasing teams building a filtration station, the pump sits with tubing, flasks and bungs among the lab equipment accessories in India that are easiest to order together.

What is the Edward type pump made of?
Nickel plated brass. The metal construction makes it less vulnerable to breakage than an all-glass pump.
How does it connect to the tap?
Through its water inlet, normally with rubber tubing secured by a clip. Inlet and port dimensions are not stated here, so send us your tap details via the contact page if you want us to check the fit.
Can it be used with a vacuum desiccator?
Water pumps are commonly used to evacuate desiccators. The vacuum reached depends on your water pressure, so ask us if your procedure needs a particular level.
Do I need a trap bottle?
It is strongly recommended. A trap stops tap water from being drawn back into the flask if the water pressure drops or the tap is closed first.
How do I maintain it?
Flush it with clean water after use, let it drain, and inspect the jet occasionally for scale or debris, especially in hard-water areas.
Can you quote for a full lab set or an export shipment?
Yes. We supply institutions in India and international markets; include product code SLE/CH/132, the quantity and your delivery location.
