Abstract: The coil tube pump is remarkable in its simplicity and efficient in pumping water by only one moving part. In order to develop manually operated internally wound coiled tube pump using metallic drum as a coil support structure, a model of the prototype design was fabricated and tested. This model turned out to be a success coiled tube pump design which then used as reference for fabricating the prototype. The fabrication of the coiled tube pump prototype was done and the pump was tested. The best angle of inclination to operate the pump was 25° and the discharge was 570 L/h at a manual speed of rotation 24 rpm. The required manual power was 14.2 W to rotate the pump at around 24 rpm. This pump can be used in small scale irrigation by pumping out the water from the low land area where water sources was located such as lakes or very slow flowing rivers to high land area on the hills in the rural area where it was difficult to operate automated pump.
