Special Water Pumps in Israel to Address Shabbos Concerns

Israeli contractors have begun to install water pumps in tall buildings to help maintain pressure on upper floors. Since the pumps are activated whenever a faucet is opened, this makes it problematic to use them on Shabbos.

To overcome the problem, MK Yaakov Asher of UTJ introduced a bill which would enable residents of a building to arrange the installation of pumps that satisfy halacha without the written permission of all the building’s residents.

Similar legislation exists for the installation of Shabbos-friendly elevators and lighting in multi-resident buildings.

  1. Yet in “IHYR-HATORAH” the Rabbonim are allowing all the house water meters to be used on shabbos, that register via electric all of the water usage.

    Surprised?
    We are not!
