thats not how the water pump works but okay. It has two 1 way valves. one on the piston and on the base. There has to be a sealed tube going from the pump down into the water. Sucking the air out of the tube will force the water to come up with eatch pump.

First you pump down and that sucks water past the first valve which closes when the down stroke is complete. Then when you life the handle the water will go through the valve on the piston and get stuck. So now when you push back down the water will come out the end. A little bit of water stays on each valve to help keep a better seal to not let air through. It would be extremely hard to create a sealed well so that you could increase the air pressure enough to rise the water how many feet rather than create a vacuum in the pipe which is a much smaller volume

Sooooo he can create anything with magic but he doesn't want to waste his time, didn't he make the first water pump in like half an hour or something?

What does it mean to grant magic favor to other people? And it doesn't look like he's doing anything like that with the merchants.

Whoever proof-read this missed some spots. Quite a few places have the words strung together or misspelled. I feel for the MC though, I too make things out of convenience but don't really want to bother with mass production.

So... too lazy to make revolutionary water pump that can make him and the village crazy rich.
Let's just teach these merchants the way to make it for free.

... Uh.. what?

There's also the fact that the metal-banded bucket in the well was invented after the mechanical water pump. No one in history used a metal-banded bucket because the metal would just rust after the first day of using it. You might make a metal band in order to tighten the planks together, but you'd have to replace it with rope or something. Until galvanization technology was invented, metal in and on buckets wasn't a thing. These people are living in a post-apocalyptic society that is using technology that they have no idea how to reproduce or maintain properly.
