Abstract
Abstract A deep well piston pump system in which pistons, in two or more cylinders, are reciprocated by high-pressure hydraulic oil from a hydraulic pump which is driven by an electric motor. Reversal of flow to any one of the cylinders is achieved by a rotating valve driven from the motor shaft through a gear reduction.
