Corporate Advocacy Program™
This news has unusual significance to the Ripoff Report for one reason Dalbey Education Institute is a member of our Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program or Corporate Advocacy Program or CAP, and they have been an active participant of that program for many years. As you may know, CAP is a program that is intended to help resolve disputes between companies and their unhappy customers. One of the key components of this program is our requirement that in order to participate, the member company must make a serious commitment to 100% customer satisfaction, including giving refunds when requested. In addition, the company must promise to take steps to investigate and correct any existing corporate cultural or operational issues that resulted in the company receiving complaints in the first place. In this way, our program is intended to help protect consumers and also to help companies find new ways to reduce complaints before they even occur. Of course, the CAP program is not a guarantee that every customer will always be completely thrilled. Rather, because we know that even the best companies can and will receive complaints from time to time, our CAP program is intended to help facilitate the resolution of complaints in a timely and fair manner.
Our agreement with each Corporate Advocacy Program participant includes written requirements for the company to make these promises and also to keep them, both to Ripoff Report and, more importantly, to the consumers who ultimately decide where to spend their hard-earned dollars. Over the past several years, the vast majority of our CAP members have lived up to their promises which is why we have been so confident in telling you, our readers, about the benefits of the program and all of the reasons why you should do business with any company that participates in the program. (Rip-off Report started in business about 13 years ago. The CAP program did not start until about 3 years later.)
Because the integrity of the program is so important to us, if it becomes clear that a CAP member is not fulfilling their obligations to consumers, we will not hesitate to terminate our relationship with them. At this time, the claims against Dalbey have NOT been proven and like anyone else, they are entitled to respond to the claims against them and although the case against them is civil, not criminal, we believe the company should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Nevertheless, as part of our primary mission of keeping consumers informed, we wanted to bring this matter to your attention. Put simply, we do not know if the claims and allegations that have been made against Dalbey are true or not, but this situation has nevertheless placed us in a position where we feel it is appropriate to err on the side of caution. For that reason, we feel it was necessary to inform the public of these events.
Again, we do not know if the charges against Dalbey are true, and we certainly hope that they are not. In our experience, Dalbey has done a good job of responding to and addressing customer complaints which is why we have been pleased to allow them to participate in our Corporate Advocacy Program. Of course, we will keep you updated with any further news or information as it becomes available to us.

What Is The Corporate Advocacy Program?
If you have a business with lots of Ripoff Reports or other types of complaints, youre probably asking yourself three basic questions:
1. What can you do to resolve existing complaints from unhappy customers?
2. How can you identify, isolate and fix the customer service or other issues that cause most complaints?
3. What can you do to increase customer satisfaction and prevent future complaints?
Because every business is different, finding a common solution to these questions is not easy. In addition, because they are so close to the situation, many business owners have a difficult time seeing the problems that exist or even admitting that they have a problem in the first place.
Thats where Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program (or CAP) comes in. Despite the long name, our CAP program is really very simple. Using our years of experience in the consumer complaint industry, we have developed the CAP program which we believe is the #1 most effective way to help business owners regain control over the operational, organizational, and other issues which generate the majority of complaints.
Now, some people claim that the CAP program works like this join the program, pay a fee to Ripoff Report, and well remove the complaints. Nothing could be further from the truth. Removing complaints (which is NEVER part of the program) is like putting a band-aid on skin cancer. It temporarily conceals the problem, but it does nothing to fix it. Thats why the Corporate Advocacy Program does NOT involve removal of complaints.
Rip-off Report knows from many years of experience that consumers love to do business with a company or individual that can demonstrate how they fixed problems and made things right with those from the past. Consumers have more respect for a business that can show how good they took care of their customers and when they can admit, maybe there were mistakes made and demonstrate how they erred on the side of their customer. Who wouldnt want to do business with that company?
Okay, if we dont remove complaints for CAP members, what DO we do? A lot, actually. Although the program is tailored to the specific needs of each member, we generally include at least three basic steps in every plan we create for our members.
The first and most important thing we do is to get our CAP members to understand our philosophy you cant tell an unhappy customer that they are wrong (even if they are wrong). Trying to resolve the complaint of an angry customer by telling them they are wrong is like trying to extinguish a fire by smothering it with gasoline. Try that sometime and let us know if it works.
So, we start by asking companies to admit that if customers are unhappy enough to post complaints, then regardless of whether the business sees them or not, problems must exist that need to be investigated and fixed. If thats something you dont agree with, then CAP isnt for you.
The second thing we do for CAP members is to reach out to all the unhappy customers who filed a complaint on Ripoff Report and see what can be done to make things right. How do we do this? We send an email to every person who has posted a complaint on Ripoff Report asking how we can resolve their complaint. Some people want refunds. Some want an apology. Some people were already taken care of and were not in need of any further assistance. Whatever it is, we let these unhappy customers know that the company involved has joined our Corporate Advocacy Program and has made a commitment to 100% customer satisfaction. Of course, you cant please all of the people all of the time so we dont expect companies to give a $1 million refund to a customer who was unhappy with a $10 transaction, but during this step we expect our CAP members to talk to their customers and find an acceptable solution to their complaint.
The goal of the second step is two-fold. First and most obviously, we want to see existing complaints resolved so that customer is satisfied. Second, we want to be able to show consumers proof that the CAP member has made steps to fix the problems which are causing complaints. Honestly, educated consumers know that EVERY business receives complaints. Thats not what is important. Instead, smart consumers only care about one thing what did the company do to fix the complaint? If the company acted quickly, fairly, and reasonably, then the complaint can actually be viewed as positive proof that the company will stand behind its product/service if a problem occurs in the future (as they usually do).
The third thing we do relates to prevention of future complaints. After the CAP member has communicated with anyone who posted a complaint in the past, the business owner should have a pretty good understanding of what caused those complaints in the first place. Armed with that knowledge, the business owner can then focus on making operational changes as needed to remedy that root cause.
But what happens if a future complaint is received about a CAP member? While we hope this wont happen, the reality is that sometimes it will. When it does, Ripoff Report will act as a liaison between the CAP member and the customer. We will immediately forward the complaint to the company and ask them to investigate and respond with the expectation that whatever the problem is, it will be promptly fixed to the customers satisfaction. If the company refuses to make things right, we will take whatever steps are necessary including terminating our relationship with the company if necessary. At the end of the day, we expect CAP members who make good faith efforts to change their practices and follow our advice will see a huge decrease in complaints and a huge increase in customer satisfaction and new business.
Although we feel strongly that Ripoff Reports CAP program is extremely useful for many businesses, we know it is not right for everyone. If you are an individual, or if you only have a handful of complaints then the program is probably not a good solution for you. Also, if you believe that all of the reports against your company are untrue or were written by angry ex-employees, then the program may or may not be right for you. We only want to work with companies who agree that change is needed, so if thats not you, then you should look into other solutions. But what other options are there? Quite a few!
First, you always have the option of posting a rebuttal that explains your side of the story. Rebuttals are 100% free, and when done correctly, they can turn a negative complaint into a positive example of why your customers should trust you. Want a good example? Take a look at this rebuttal from a company called Overnight Mattress: http://www.ripoffreport.com/Bed-Bath/Overnightmattress-co/overnightmattress-com-over-n*g-355ee.htm This is exactly how a company can turn a negative into a positive by stepping up and showing that it is willing to customers. After reading this, who wouldnt want to do business with Overnight Mattress? (Full Disclosure Overnight Mattress is NOT a member of our CAP program nor have they paid us a dime. Weve never even talked with them. We just think this company is a good example of how to use a rebuttal properly).
NEW ARBITRATION PROGRAM Second, we have recently launched a new arbitration program that allows parties to dispute the accuracy of a report in an informal expedited process. Although the program does not include the removal of reports, it does include a written ruling from a neutral arbitrator (our first arbitration panel member is a retired Court of Appeals judge) who will decide whether anything in a report is untrue. When and if, such a finding has been determined, the report will then be modified to reflect the arbitrators decision in a clear and unequivocal way. If you are interested in this program and want more information, please send an email to email@example.com and we will send you a packet, in an email which will contain more information, including a sample complaint form, as well as the rules for the program.
Third, you can always take your chances with a search engine optimization or SEO company. These fly-by-night Reputation Management companies promise to help you hide a complaint for the low, low price of $5,000 or more, but what they wont tell you is that in many cases, these fixes are only temporary and, worse yet, some SEO practices are prohibited by most search engines including Google. In fact, if you hire the wrong SEO company, the result may be a death sentence for your business you may be completely banned from many search engines so that no one can find your company! Some companies market themselves using dozens of different names because they end up blackmailing customers forcing them to continue to pay them, threatening they will make things worse.. Consumers will always find negative comments if they are out there, even if they have to search past page 3 or 20 on search engines, they will find it. Honestly, if you really dont care about your customers and simply want to hide complaints about you, then SEO may be right for you, but why not step up to the plate and confront the problem head-on? Thats what customers want to see, and thats what Ripoff Report is here to help businesses do! Remember, filing a rebuttal is completely FREE.. ALL COMPANIES WILL GET COMPLAINTS HOW THOSE COMPANIES TAKE CARE OF THOSE COMPLAINTS IS WHAT SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES

Dalbey Wealth Institute - Americas Note Network Company Misrepresented Possibility of Success Westminster Colorado
I signed up for the "Winning in the Cash Flow Business" course for $381.60 in July 2006. They sent me the books, which I should have just looked at and tried if I had been smart. Then I would have learned just how difficult this "business" is for a minimal cost.
Later that month "America's Note Network called and talked us into buying into the "Protege Coaching" to help us "jumpstart" our business and lead us through the startup. They told us if we spent 10 hours a week on our business that we could make a sixfigure income in a year, all for the low price of $5,800.00, and even have our own website for an additional $2,500.00 for 3 years and 33 "live" note leads. We let ourselves get duped into paying the money to get started.
We have spent countless hours searching for notes and additional money for our own marketing materials in the last 16 months and have only been able to make offers on 2 notes using their system, both of which were refused due to the lowball nature of what "ANN" was offering. Those notes we found on our own, as for their 300 "leads", 50 were duplicate names, another 100 were returned as no address, and no responses were received from any others.
Their offer of refunding our money as soon as we made 10 closed note deals is nearly impossible to acheive, and we got taken for our money, learning a very costly lesson. Even "Our" website reverted to forwarding onto their website after one year without their notifying us first. We got them to revert it back when we discovered the change and they said it was just a "mistake", yea-right.
We are still trying to build our business through alot of hard work, but have learned that their are really only 4 or 5 buyers of these notes and now realize that Dalby is just acting as another level in brokering these notes to those buyers. This makes it hard to make a competive offer with them wanting to take their cut along the way.
They continue to contact us wanting even MORE MONEY to "HELP US" when we have not made even one cent after about $12,000.00 in courses and mailings and "business expenses" No way are they getting another cent from us. We should have stopped at $381.60 and learned our lesson.
Since we are still using their system and trying to build our business and fear retaliation, I am changing my name and location for this posting.

Hi all.
I have an interesting issue.
Ive been making sites based on a master 'clone' installation, all has been working fine, and I can turn-out the installs in a few minute.
My issue is this;
When i clone the site from - dev.mydomain.com - to its new home - http://www.someothersite.com - all works well. No issues.
However, I have a demo area - demo.mydomain.com - and I went through the same process to clone the site into this location. And this it where it falls apart.
I have checked the database and done a replace on the old URL string - all is well. But the new site - which copies perfectly - still has all internal links pointing to the old domain.
Does anyone know of a specific issue with non-www prefxed site URL's ?
Again, this works fine so long as the new URL has a www. prefix..
Anyone ?
Is it a Permalinks issue ?
Can I force the Permalinks to refresh without using the wp-admin UI ?

Is there any chance to change the "ai1ec_event" by any kind of expression in the following url : "http://www.mywebsite.com/ai1ec_event/event1" ?
Thanks in advance,
Is there any chance to change the "ai1ec_event" by any kind of expression in the following url : "http://www.mywebsite.com/ai1ec_event/event1" ?
Thanks in advance,
Yes, we will probably add it in the settings in one of the next releases but for now the only way to do it is by editing the following file:
line 178
Change from:
'rewrite' => true,
Change to:
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'ai1ec_event' ),
You can change
ai1ec_event to anything you want.
Ahh so glad I found the answer to this. Keep up the work guys, this plugin is dank!!!!
Hi there, I hope that someone can help me. I have tried the suggestion to change the default directory structure of the "all-in-one-event-calendar" as described above. It works and the directory is changed. However my page now does not exists: http://3d-car-shows.com/car-show-events/tokyo-motor-show/?instance_id=510 any idea why that is?
Ok - I have found out what is causing the page not exists error - after changing the settings as above - you need to visit your permalink settings and save it, this will activate the change as above and the page (directory change) will now work!
Thanks for posting the fix to what you were experiencing, it will help others
who can i do the same for the botton "back to calendar": mysite.com/calendar?ai1ec_month_offset=1&ai1ec_active_event=58545
"categories" botton : mysite.com/calendar?ai1ec_cat_ids=5088
mysite.com/calendar?events_cat_ids=5088 ?
You will have to edit app/view/class-ai1ec-agenda-widget.php file
Lines 163-212
thnx a lot yani
Hi! How to remove "ai1ec_event" from the names of pages and bread crumbs. here aScreenshot
Awesome post!!! Thanks for all the information everyone!!
Thank you for the information. I also was wondering how to change that section of the URL.
You can create custom page for ai1ec_event. The method has already been described.
Here it goes again:
1. Create single-ai1ec_event.php file
2. Copy the code from single.php file inside your WP themes folder and place it inside single-ai1ec_event.php, you've just created in the first step.
3. Put single-ai1ec_event.php inside your themes folder. (not inside ai1ec theme but WP themes).
4. Inside newly created file you will find a line of code calling for header - get_header();
5. Create a custom header file which will be called only from single-ai1ec_event.php
5.1 To create it just copy the one inside your theme's folder and rename it like: header-YOURNAME.php
5.2 Change the "yourname" part however you want.
5.3 Call newly created header file from single-ai1ec_event.php file by replacing: get_header();
with: get_header("YOURNAME");
That is it!
Now you can edit just the custom header as you prefer.
If you have trouble getting around the breadcrumbs, just remove them or make the rule.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Although most people close to director Renny Harlin and actress Geena Davis characterized the couple's April split as amicable, I'm now hearing the decision to end their four-year marriage was anything but mutual. A source tells me it was Harlin who wanted out and that Davis is still very much in love with him and even hopes for a reconciliation....
It's back to the drawing board for producer Ed Pressman (City Hall). He is still looking for a Hollywood heavyweight to play David Begelman in a film based on Indecent Exposure, the 1982 bestseller by author David McClintick chronicling Begelman's years as president of Columbia Pictures in the '70s, when he was caught embezzling the studio's money, and on a subsequent Vanity Fair article by McClintick detailing the events leading up to the executive's suicide in 1995. Pressman's first choice had been Michael Douglas, but he recently took himself out of the running. Pressman, although disappointed by Douglas's decision, says he will concentrate his efforts now on getting the right script and director....
Bob Dole may have lost his bid to be President, but his campaign opened up a whole new world for him as a Madison Avenue pitchman. If you're tired of his VISA commercials, which have been running on TV since debuting during the Jan. 26 Super Bowl, Dole recently filmed an upcoming Dunkin' Donuts plug as part of a campaign with Sugar Ray Leonard, Mary Lou Retton and Larry Bird. The commercials have to do with retired people staying retired. But at the end of his spot, Leonard winks at the camera, which I assume means he's still not ready to give up his boxing comeback. Does Dole have a few fights left in him too? ...
Another celebrity endorser, folksy Wilford Brimley, he of the Quaker Oats commercials, is about to try his hand at a singing career. The 62-year-old character actor has sung in public occasionally, most recently at a nightclub last month in Los Angeles. His handlers are so convinced there's a receptive audience out there that they're planning to book concert dates for him in New York City, Chicago and Boston. In the meantime, Brimley is about to go into the studio to record a CD of his favorite music from the '30s and '40s.

Shortly after attending I was beginning to think something was wrong. The teachers were disappearing one after another. I would arrive to class, only to be waiting the first 15 to 20 minutes for the instructor to figure out either what he was supposed to be teaching or watching him run to another instructor to find out how to do the subject he is supposed to have already learned and be teaching us. Little time was spent on actual leaning material in my classes.
A considerable amount of time was wasted by teachers talking about things that did'nt even pertain to computers and by other activities such as graduations of which of course the whole school was encouraged to attend. Other time was spent at basketball, golf, and other sport contest in which the winner was allowed to choose a dimestore prize.(coffee mugs, etc...)
Around the 3rd. month, I missed some days because of family illnesses,surgeries,etc. When I returned to school, either the counselor or the dean himself assured me that i could continue on right where I left off and that anything I missed would made up later on after I graduated or they would tutor me.
A month before graduation arrived I felt that I had learned very little and requested to retake the course, which set my date from Oct.15,2004 to Mar.2,2005 for graduation. March 2005 approached and I still felt that I had learned nothing more than when I first started. I figured it was due to my absentes, so I started all over again only to realize that it wasn't any different than when I first started on March 23,2004.I went to the dean and complained about my experiences there and he promised that I would recieve my G.E.D., and help finding a job while i was retaking the classes. By this time most of the teachers had either been laid off or dismissed (according to the dean of the school.) The next time I turned around the dean was going around to each of the classrooms assurring all the students that what we read in the newspapers and heard from others was all false and we had nothing to worry about as far as our school closing and that we would all graduate. Two weeks later BCTI closed its doors in our faces leaving us with no education as far as computers go, and hugh student loans that we still have to pay back.
I know for a fact that I myself dont have enough knowledge to even get a job at Mc Donald's restaurants much less in the computer field. How am I supposed to repay these loans.If anyone has any suggestions or is filing a lawsuit please contact me as I cannot afford to hire a lawyer myself.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest, I have many more gripes against BCTI but feel I need to limit my complaints due to lack of space.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Staff decieved too. completely deceptive/dishonest/immoral the way the "christian" owners Tom & Morrie mislead students and staff
AUTHOR: Mike - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 25, 2005POSTED: Friday, March 25, 2005
I am curious to know what campus you attended (but from what you described it could be any of them).
It is completely deceptive/dishonest/immoral the way the "christian" owners Tom & Morrie mislead students and staff. They knew very well what was happening/coming for BCTI.
At the campus where I worked, in late 2004 the co-owner Tom Jonez came to my campus and we had a mandatory all staff meeting. In this meeting, he told all of us (including the ED) that 1. The investigation into BCTI by the state was finished, and was found to be baseless (we all know now that was a lie), 2. Our campus was definately not going to be closing (a lie), 3. the investigation by the accredidation company was complete and again all complaints were without merit (a lie), and 4. how lucky we all were to be a part of the BCTI family and that anyone that does not have complete faith in BCTI should not be there (a good idea). Almost everything Tom said in that meeting turned out to be untrue. (What I would give to be able to turn back the clock and walk back into that meeting again).
The two owners and the VPs knew everything, the other 99% of the staff were lied to.
My point being that when your Dean went around telling students not to worry the rumors were false, that is what he had been told.
If you, or anyone else, wants to share their 'thoughts' with the two owners Morrie & Tom, you can find them in their family of churches in the Gig Harbor area.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTTo all of Monti Rock's friends:
Monti's true friend and companion for over 42 years left this planet for the spiritual world of eternity. He will be waiting faithfully for his partner to join him when the time is right. Bruce Mosham was more than just a partner. Bruce was, as Monti says, "The power behind the legend." Bruce was a wonderful man. He was Monti's manager, bodyguard, typist, and much more. This was true love that is so very rare these days. I was in love with both of them.
As you know, Monti is a legend in his own time. It spread over the 42 years he spent with Bruce. He was on the Johnny Carson show over 85 times. He performed at Ceaser's Palace and many other places in his career. He performed at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with Josephine Baker, where he had the audience in total awe of his performance. He starred with John Travolta in the classic "Saturday Night Fever," as the judging disc jockey.
Monti is in deep mourning for his partner, Bruce. He is planning a "celebration" of Moshman's life. The date and time will be announced soon. If any of his true friends read this, and want to help him create a special event. Please let him know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Monti Selects:
John Stewart, a creative genius, who is responsible for Legends in Concert , is busy at work preparing for a new internet show which I may be involved in. He also works with Dirk Arthur on his show.
My old friend Rudy Guarino, who booked me at his top Boston club called The Sugar Shack 35 years ago, where he booked many of the top Soul and R &B stars of the day.. and then on to Miami at The Bird Lounge in the Marco Polo Hotel. I had a great run there until I got a little, how shall I say, too "risque" and so went that booking. Rudy was quite the man in his early days and there is now a documentary-style film and a reality show in the works telling his interesting story.
Anita Mann's 16th anniversary of her show "Fantasy" is still the "T and A' show that sets the standard for all the others. Anita is always tweaking and revamping so as to keep Fantasy fresh and alive. The performers never become bored and/or tired of what they're doing and it shows. The other Luxor shows.,Carrot Top and Criss Angel's Believe are still doing fine business. Cirque is reportedly in the midst of making some changes to Believe, but Cirque shows can been seen elsewhere on the Strip and Criss does not need all of the Cirque special effects, his magic and illusions are more than enough to give us a top-notch show. Right now our thoughts and prayers go out to Criss and his family for the recovery of his 20 month old son who was just diagnosed with an aggressive type of leukemia. He took some time from his show and is in Australia to be with his child.
Murray Sawchuck and Chloe Crawford wed in Las Vegas on Friday, July 20, 2012. Monte Rock III officiated, Doug Leferovich served as best man, and Ashton Nicole was the bridesmaid.
"We finally decided to tie the knot," the "America's Got Talent" semifinalist told me exclusively. A small group of close friends, Las Vegas magicians and family, including her parents who flew over from England, witnessed the ceremony in the intimacy of the lush garden of hishome in the Lakes in Summerlin.
Monti Rock III, the 1970s icon, disco legend and licensed marriage minister, officiated the ceremony, which included the couple exchanging rings that had been selected by "Pawn Stars" stars at their Gold & Silver Pawn, where Murray serves as a regular expert on the top-rated History Channel show.
Also, a shout out to Mr. Criss Angel. You are a star and you made this columnist a fan! Your generosity and kindness will never be forgotten! Jersey Boys at Paris is wowing the crowds. Check out the Sugar Factory while you are there - a chocolate aroma world that's decadently divine.
The Rev. Monti once again wishes you only the best.

A Meal With Monti
|As a gossip columnist, committed foodie and theater critic, I spend the better part of my work week covering all the fabulous shows, clubs, restaurant openings and special events on The Strip—'tis good to be Monti Rock.
Come Saturday and Sunday, what I enjoy most is kicking back in my own neighborhood...Yes, Vegas does have neighborhoods.
One of my favorite haunts has been a Las Vegas fixture for over a quarter century, Siena Italian. Owners Antonio Accornero and Giancarlo Bomparola have created a truly authentic Italian Trattoria experience and recently relocated it to a new, urban-chic site, which includes not only a restaurant, bar and lounge with indoor and al fresco seating, but soon, an Italian Marketplace complete with a bakery, deli and coffee bar.
Trained in Milan, Italy, Chef Giancarlo works the kitchen while Antonio, with his infinite Italian charm, works the front of the house. For starters, you must have the Tortino di Riso—rice cakes, Parmesan cheese and mushrooms in truffle oil—to die for!
Going on to salad, my favorite is Mele E Noci—baby greens, roasted walnuts, apple and Gorgonzola tossed with champagne vinaigrette—heavenly!
The main event, new to the menu this month, Misto Pesce Griglia—fresh scampi, calamari, tuna, jumbo scallops and salmon simmered in lemon juice and olive oil and served with fresh seasonal vegetables—died and gone to heaven for!
And for the encore (I'm sure you've had this before, but not this good), Tiramisu—Chef Giancarlo's family recipe—certain to assure Giancarlo sainthood!
Siena also features live entertainment in the bar and lounge Wed. and Sat. with Sinatra-style crooner Larry Liso. Siena Authentic Italian

The Challenge – Global Water Crisis
Today, almost 800mn people still have no access to safe, clean drinking water. The United Nations estimates that by 2025 up to 1.8bn people will be living in countries or regions with extreme water scarcity. About two-thirds of the world's population will be affected by the consequences of our global water shortage. Some 3mn people die each year from the consequences of water-related diseases – i.e. about 10,000 people every day – most of them are children under the age of five.
The reliance on common water pump systems that are simply unsuitable for most local conditions exacerbates the problem:
- Expensive generator-driven pumps that need unaffordable amounts of fuel
- Windmills that only pump water if there is enough wind
- Imported underwater pumps that are expensive and too complex to be produced locally
- Hand pumps that require a lot of maintenance (which, in many cases, is not available locally)
cause more problems than they solve, thus adding to the global water crisis.
The Solution
To supply water wherever it is needed, Pumpmakers has developed the world's most innovative solar water pump.
Thanks to the latest technology and a patented concept, the DIY Solar Pump helps people access water even in the remotest corners of the world and provides a unique opportunity to those wanting to start their own business.
The Pumpmakers DIY Solar Pump is both a cost-effective and a sustainable solution.
- Incurs no running costs
- Uses renewable solar energy to easily pump water out of water wells
- Pumps efficiently up to a depth of 100m/300ft
- Allows water to be pumped at night, using the optional hand pump
- Requires NO maintenance (high-quality maintenance-free materials make this possible)
- Salt water resistant to avoid corrosion
- Affordable and can be manufactured all over the world to foster local economic
- Easily assembled locally, with local skills and parts.
Above all, the Pumpmakers platform gives everyone free access to easy-to-use DIY instructions, construction plans and videos to build and install our DIY Solar Pump.
|Data Sheet – DIY Solar Pump
About Pumpmakers
In 2010, our team of engineers and constructors took on the challenge posed by the global water crisis head-on to design and develop a truly self-sustainable water pump system.
Our goal is clear: millions of people all over the world should have access to safe, clean drinking water.
A year later, we presented the DIY Solar Pump as the very first maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant water pump system that can be manufactured locally, runs entirely on solar power, needing no back-up electricity and incurring no additional costs.
Besides that, the DIY Solar Pump system can easily be set up to replace pre-installed water pumps, such as hand water pumps, generator-powered pumps or windmill water pumps that are typically found in rural and remote areas.
PM Pumpmakers GmbH is an Austrian enterprise, specializing in the research and development of power and water, using renewable energy sources. The focus is on innovative solar pump systems – such as the patented DIY Solar Pump – for water well construction and agricultural purposes, meeting the needs of a fast-growing market.
DIETMAR STUCK – Founder & CEO
Dietmar Stuck has been active in the water well drilling industry since 2000. He worked for S&K Brunnenbohr in Austria where he drilled more than 350 drinking water wells in over 7 years as well as for the Bunbury Drilling Company in Western Australia where he drilled water wells for dewatering and drinking water supply up to a depth of 1,000 metres.
In 2009, he shifted his focus towards sustainable development. He carried out surveys for water projects on behalf of humanitarian aid organizations in remote areas of six African countries. On many occasions he saw that the water pumps in use were unsuitable for the local conditions.
"In the Maasai region I saw people walk over 30 miles a day searching for scarce amounts of water for their families. I saw broken hand pumps because of a lack of maintenance. I saw fuel-driven water pumps not working because of the lack of money to run them. And, existing water wells were useless.
These terrible conditions sparked the idea for a solar-powered water pump that avoids all these disadvantages and that can easily be manufactured locally by companies and entrepreneurs." – Dietmar Stuck, Founder & CEO
GERHARD NAGL – Project Manager
I am fascinated by innovation and global social responsibility. As a professional geographer, focusing on regional development in rural areas, I know that development can only take place where basic needs are met as well. Pumpmakers addresses precisely these issues by providing access to water – the basis of all life.
As project manager for import/export, I not only support our customers and partners all over the world in their quest for a better water supply, I also put new business management insights (my second field of expertise) into practice.
I am therefore extremely pleased to be part of this exciting project.
DR. BIRGIT STUCK – PR Manager
In the context of research for my thesis on the subject "Thinking globally – socially active and educationally effective", I dealt with the challenges of many African countries with regard to their water situation and the associated local living conditions. From the community members` surveyed and the portrayals, it emerged that only with continuous access to clean drinking water can the base for a structured livable existence be formed.
Water is and remains the foundation stone for any development, as
Water is Life
Water creates Work and
Water makes Education possible.
Therefore we are all encouraged to take steps in favour of handling the global challenge that we think globally and lay the cornerstone with a sustainable effect in this one world, for a secure future, for all subsequent generations.
With the DIY Solar pump Pumpmakers provides a substantial share for this desired sustainable development. My assignment is to extend our community and to distribute this system in a way that it is used where it`s needed most.
An old African proverb states:
"If a lot of people, in many places do a lot of small things they can change the face of the world"
Pumpmakers Platform
The Pumpmakers Platform has been set up to reach as many people as possible.
Its goal is to provide those in need with quick and easy access to safe, clean drinking water and support those who want to start a business:
- Using the DIY instructions, construction plans and videos that can be downloaded from our Pumpmakers platform, everyone can become a Pumpmaker!
- Entrepreneurs and companies have the opportunity to use our business concept to start their own Pumpmakers business.
- Pumpmakers businesses, water well construction companies and NGOs can present their work in our global directory.
- Individuals can support each other and pinpoint already existing water wells as well as regions that still lack a steady supply of water.
Towards a Brighter Future
Our DIY Solar Pump is a vital contribution to reducing water shortages and poverty worldwide.
It is an ideal solution for everyone who wants to become energy independent of electricity, save costs and improve the quality of life for others with a steady supply of water.
It is also an ideal solution for development aid organizations striving for sustainability and increased self-sufficiency among the population through self-help assistance.
Water is our most precious resource. Water is life! We are convinced that showing people how they can help themselves to sustainably access water will help them build better lives for themselves.
Clean Drinking Water for Ndzofuine
Since 2012 Pumpmakers solar pumps have been supplying the remote village Ndzofuine near Chidenguele in Mozambique with clean drinking water.
With a capacity of up to 5.000 litres of water being pumped up from a depth of 80m each day, the system has opened the door to a brighter future for some 800 local people.

Illinois Public Media seeks a full-time Multimedia Producer to serve as primary multimedia producer for Illinois Public Media news and talk programming, including The 21st, IPM's daily, one-hour, talk show.
Illinois Public Media is looking for a producer with a startup mentality to help launch its new statewide talk show, The 21st. What do we mean by startup mentality?
