A pump assembly (1 ) for use in pumping a liquid medium, preferably seawater, is provided. The pump assembly comprising a generally elongate wave-powered arm member (6) having flotation means for operatively facilitating suspension of the arm member in the seawater, the arm member being hingeably attachable at one end to a rotatable support frame means (5) in which the arm member is movable in generally vertical relation to the support frame means and in which the support frame means is rotatably connectable to a generally upper end of an elongate support shaft member (4), the support shaft member including anchoring means for securing the support shaft member in generally vertical relation to the seabed, the pump assembly including one or more pumping means having liquid inlet and outlet means and in which movement of the arm member within the liquid medium operatively controls the alternative opening and closing of the inlet and outlet means. |
