NOVELTY - The apparatus (22) has a pump reload mechanism including a tether for connecting a submerged float to a movable assembly or cylinder assembly (38), so that buoyancy of the submerged float is transferred through the tether as downward return force biases on the cylinder assembly. The cylinder assembly is permitted to move along upward direction in response to a rising wave lifting a drive float (44) when an upward force provided by the buoyancy of the drive float is greater than the bias of the downward return force.    USE - Wave powered pumping apparatus i.e. float type wave powered pump, for pumping fluid i.e. water, by utilizing continuous rising and falling wave action in a water body e.g. ocean or sea, in a wave powered energy generating system for generating electricity.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus adopts continuous rising and falling wave action in the water body to pump the fluid in a better manner. The apparatus uses a tide compensating device to reduce ratio of vertical travel of the movable assembly relative to vertical travel of the drive float. The apparatus has a fluid inlet check valve incorporating a rigid support plate of a piston assembly with a set of openings and a shiftable cover for quickly reloading the fluid in a cylinder. The apparatus uses a directional pressure-activated seal at a point of sliding connection between a piston rod and the cylinder in a better manner. The piston assembly is used an anchored component to improve pumping efficiency of the apparatus. The apparatus is durable when number of components of the apparatus, which are prone to failure by component breakage or deformation in an unsupervised operation state in the water body are reduced.
