The Spiral Coil pump is a non-conventional water pump which can be powered by wind energy or flow energy of river water. It can also be hand driven. It is very useful especially in rural areas for farming and irrigation purposes. Spiral Coil pump comes under the category of a low to moderate lift pump. In the present study, the hand operated experimental setup is designed and constructed to analyze the performance of the spiral coil pump under different parameters. The parameters considered are submerged ratios, rotational speed, layers of coils. For setup of 0.8 m wheel diameter with 7 number of coils, the maximum head obtained is in between 4.3 m to 5 m with maximum discharge 1200 lit/hr for single layer and 2280 lit/hr for double layer of the coil with efficiency range 20% to 74%.
