Abstract: A floatless pneumatic pump having an elongated housing including a sealable fluid entry aperture and a pipe communicating between an interior and an exterior of the housing, with the housing movably attached to the pipe for axial displacement therewith. The housing includes a bottom wall and a cylindrical side wall extending from the bottom wall and terminating in an opening. A switchable valve control having a pod closes the opening. The pod has a plurality of valve seats and a plurality of corresponding valve elements, with the plurality of valve seats defining at least one fluid inlet port and at least one fluid outlet port. The valve elements alternatingly seal the inlet and outlet ports in relation to the axial displacement of the housing, allowing both fluid to ingress through a sealable fluid entry aperture and fluid to egress through the pipe.
