From American Partisan: GETTING WATER FROM A WELL WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
If you live out in the country, your water likely comes from a well and your well pump only works if you have electricity. So if the power goes out and you don’t have a way to run the pump…no water. There are other alternatives but what is described here is a good, low tech way to get water in a pump. We are going to check it out and build one of our own.
I replaced. Y electric pump at my Cabin with a stainless steel Simple pump. My well is +_ 175' deep and it does not need to be primed.
Very smart, i am very concerned about this being an issue in a SHTF situation.
If you have the time look into a Simple Pump which is the actual company name. They can be installed along your existing electric submersible pump. They are pricey but the are all stainless.
Oh I thought that was just a description, not a brand name. I will check it out.
I was wondering how to use my drilled well…looks like I'm going to need 400' of rope. I have the other items. Thanks for sharing.
