MEET WATER PUMP SPECIALIST, ALAN HUNGERFORD

Hi, I’m Alan, founder of Adventure Pumps and creator of the original 12V water transfer and diesel* transfer pump kit that will help you Go Further, Stay Longer!™

A note from the founder...

For our 2 year lap of Australia (2020-2021), I hand made a 12V water transfer pump kit foreseeing the challenges of refilling our water tanks whilst on the road. Think refill stations with low water pressure and long queues waiting behind other caravans in the baking sun with two little adventurers in tow… just the beginning of the challenges travellers face.

I shudder to think how many hours (and days!) people lose on their trip that could have been better spent sightseeing, spending quality time with the kids or kicking back enjoying Australia’s vast backyard with their beverage of choice in hand. Thankfully we didn’t have that problem because we knew exactly what to do from the start.

With more than 20 years’ experience in technical sales, project management and business management in the water and wastewater industries, both in Australia and abroad I was able to apply my personal experience and knowledge to create a product that transformed our adventures. And now, you can benefit, too!

This pump revolutionised our lap and was without a doubt our most prized piece of equipment, also catching the attention of other eagle-eyed travellers.

We fielded many questions about our pump kit during our travels, with the most frequently asked being – “Where can I get one?” Now, the answer is right here!

On this website, you’ll be able to buy our universal water transfer pump kits, but also learn more as I share my tips and travels with you. You can also be inspired to Go, Further, Stay Longer! in our travel journal here.

 

Happy travels,
Alan & family

GIVING BACK

At Adventure Pumps, we believe in giving back to our community and making a difference in people’s lives. Our Managing Director, Alan Hungerford, is proud to volunteer his time and expertise at Nexus Care, a Brisbane-based charity that has been transforming lives in the northern suburbs since 2011.

Adventure Pumps also donate to Compassion Australia from every kit sold across Compassion Australia’s various areas, particularly ‘water sanitation’ ‘Education & Training’ ‘Income Generation’ & ‘Christmas Gift’ projects.

Alan’s personal experience during his 1.5-year lap of Australia, where he hand-built a 12V water transfer pump kit, inspired him to create a product that would not only revolutionize the way people travel but also contribute to the community. Adventure Pumps was born from the desire to save fellow adventurers valuable time, allowing them to fully enjoy their journey across Australia.

Now, our company is dedicated to providing high-quality water transfer pump kits, sharing valuable tips, and inspiring others to Go, Further, Stay Longer!

WHY WE LAUNCHED ADVENTURE PUMPS

Adventure Pumps was created when my 20+ year career in the pump and irrigation industry met caravanning and was refined thanks to our personal experiences and challenges living full-time on the road, travelling around Australia for a year and a half with a caravan in tow.

We knew that there was a better and faster way of managing our water supply that required less effort and freed up more time to spend enjoying our trip.

The Adventure Pumps water transfer kits and accessories address the most important need on your trip – access to water and the ability to easily move it to where you need it.

So, whether you’re doing a full lap, or take regular shorter trips, you’ll be able to Go Further, Stay Longer!™ with Adventure Pumps.

And the best bit, a small investment in an Adventure Pump can save many thousands of $$$ in camping fees, not to mention wasted time waiting in queues for water.

Stay tuned for more helpful content and ideas!

Get Inspiration for Your Own ‘Lap’ of Australia

I spent two years exploring Australia’s backyard with my wife, two young children and dog Tazzie in our fantastic 22FT Jayco Journey Outback Caravan.

While other travellers were limited by how much water they could carry, because they relied solely on their Caravan or RV water tanks for supply, we were able to explore places others couldn’t – and at a much more leisurely pace because we carried five additional water containers (110 Litres) in the Landcruiser and an Adventure Pump which provided us with greater flexibility (and water on board when we were away from the van) and countless memories exploring this incredible country.

From 6 days along the Nullarbor (most do a mad dash in 2 days due to limited water refill stations) and the Gibb River Road in the heart of the Kimberly’s. We’ve seen so much of Australia thanks to the Adventure Pump prototype that was the inspiration for the products we now offer direct to you, our fellow adventurers, so safe travels and we hope to see you out on the road someday!
