An oscillating spring valve fluid pumping system for use in a flowing stream of fluid comprises a spring valve, check valve and a housing with inlet and two outlets, one outlet for each valve. As fluid enters the system, it is directed to a spring valve which is biased in the open position by a first spring. Fluid passing by the spring valve exits the housing from one of the outlets and returns to the stream. When a predetermined amount of pressure is reached, the spring valve closes thus creating a back pressure and redirecting the fluid through a check valve mechanism to relieve that pressure. Fluid passing the check valve escapes through one of the outlets for distribution by the user. Concurrently, the pressure at the spring valve is reduced thereby causing the spring valve to open against a second spring. As fluid continues to enter the system, the spring valve repeatedly oscillates thus producing an increased pressure head at the system outlet. Because this system requires no motor or other electrical source, it is both light weight and inexpensive, thus making it ideal for applications in remote areas where electricity is not readily available.
