Deep Well Hand Pump - Installation Tour

[@nacholibre1962]

Awesome. What did this system cost?

[@frankmattheu7383]

Great video and narration. Thank you.

[@TheFlatlander440]

Do you have a link to the website where you purchased this hand pump well kit? My well is approx 175 feet deep but I have no idea what the static depth is. Thanks.

[@herbertwerner2287]

Big help huh as your question from one year ago goes unanswered. If I find an answer Ill let you know. Here's a link to a few kits. www.bisonpumps.com/deep-well-hand-pump/

[@ruthc8407]

If you can find the paperwork from your well drilling, it will tell you what the static depth is. Also, your State Dept of Nat'l Resources probably keeps the information provided to them from your well driller.

[@tommyb.6064]

Nice product. I would like to build a DIY version of it...

[@sledneck0713]

Great video. 3 days without water! Do you have a link to that kit? I was going to DIY it, but there would probably be pipes floating if I did that. But I love to see the options that are available

The 1/8” hole you mentioned...is it just one hole ? Or completely through the pipe? I live an 1898 farm with a hand dug stone lined well and it has the original hand pump! I’m restoring it and have purchased the deep well pump, foot valve, and I’m using standard 1 1/4” off the shelf galvanized pipe. I’m using threaded rod with couplers connecting them and attaching to the handle. So it’s a work in progress and fun project. I too want an alternate water source. Even if I have to purify the water it’s still security. But the drill hole caught my ear. Thanks again and great video. I see very few videos with people using existing hand dug wells with hand pumps. I live in northern Ohio and old farm hand pumps are common and they just sit rusted and not operational.

[@jasleav3968]

Are the pumps still functional in Winter? I live in Maine so at times it can be well below zero. Very interested in getting one of these.

[@bob8289]

Thanks for the video. I have electric well pump but wondering if its possible to install backup hand pump in basement next to pressure tank and water line coming into house?

[@mthdeolc40]

so in the well has 2 pumps right? I saw some hand pump on the internet. You have to take the electric pump out and install the hand pump only. This is not what I want. I want to be able to use electric pump on the daily basis and use the hand pump when no electricity or the electric pump broke. Can you tell me if I can have 2 pumps in a 6 inches steel casing and 160 feet deep well either PVC or gavalnize droppipe 140 ft they found water. But drill to 160 Ft deep. Thank you.

[@baileylineroad]

Good Morning! Yes, this well has two pumps. Both the electric pump and the hand pump are present at the same time. My well casing is 6" and the well is 143 feet deep. It's a very similar situation to yours and works perfectly. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Steve

[@williamt.7654]

@@baileylineroad If is two pump from same casing where is the electric pump pvc pipe then… You are only showing hand pump pvc sticking from casing..?

[@chrisoxford6655]

Great job, excellent start to finish

[@joebobjenkins7837]

What happens when something breaks, like the valve? Are you hosed or is there a way to fix it?

[@marksparkplug7758]

Steve it looks like a nice system. Water for some reason always tastes better from hand pump.

[@baileylineroad]

Thanks for commenting, Mark. Yes, water is better when you work a little to get it. I don't show it in the video, but since shooting it I found a nice, big stainless steel cup that I keep at the well. It makes it easy to stop and get a drink whenever I walk past. Bye for now, Steve

[@Brindle_Boxer]

I’m considering installing one of these. If I install a hand pump with my electric pump, and my electric pump ever goes out, do I have to remove the hand pump in order to remove and replace the electric pump?

[@arg6193]

Thank you! Do you have a link for the hand pump?

[@JemDaffodil]

Thank you for this video. So very helpful!

[@davej7458]

When both pumps are in the well which pump should be the upper pump and which pump would be the lower pump? Do you have to remove the upper pump before you remove or replace the lower pump?

[@tim-hill]

I too would like a link to the pump kit. I'd also like to know how long each pvc pipe is. Thanks!

Thank you 🙏

[@carrietruax5772]

hello, thanks so much for your video. i have a four inch casing and a pressure tank . could i possible get this simple pump past the piping to the water? thanks.

[@jamescoleman266]

Where can I find this hand pump??

[@tricialinderman653]

How did you determine how deep your well was?

[@KMF3]

It should be in paperwork about your house when you first bought it.

[@tobbiehaynes8380]

Would be nice if this guy could answer peoples question!!!also could have put info about purchasing this pump kit !!!

[@kathysturm4251]

I'm still searching for the answer. Does anyone have a link to this hand pump kit??? thanks

[@lionstablespeakinggodsword174]

Ive got a 300ft well and the water is around 250ft. So that would be ALOT of pvc sections!

[@MsAce0424]

Do you know of any hand pumps that can connect to a deep well electric pump, that is for a 5 inch casing? I had a well guy say he couldn't do it because it was a 5 inch casing. I'm hoping he is behind on new options and maybe they exist. I do Google searches and get generic random searches.

[@anthonyn189]

for some reason the responses to people who have asked for a link to the kit aren't showing up for me while the rest of the responses are. Can you link me the kit as well?

[@ratfink13fan51]

Can I buy a setup online?

[@jrdz4432]

I’m tired of pumping grandpa 👩🏾‍🦱 Just keep pumping 👨🏼‍🦳

[@imsooshook3871]

Does this hand pump continue to work even when the electricity is off?

[@tobbiehaynes8380]

Yes it will cuz no electricity needed for hand pumps..

[@mycharmedunicorn8715]

Can a person find a company to do this type of work?

[@baileylineroad]

Good Morning! Any plumber with experience working on wells would have no trouble installing this pump. You'd just need to get the pump and have it on hand. Drop by my website baileylineroad.com for a visit sometime. You'll find lots of stuff there, including tool giveaways, articles and lots of other stuff of interest to hands-on, how-to people. Bye for now and thanks for watching! Steve

[@bharatAV]

Is the water clean?

[@KMF3]

It's the same water as before

[@KMF3]

My well is 450 feet can I do this

[@hillbillyhen6673]

Kmf did you find out? My well is 220 trying to find out myself

[@KMF3]

@@hillbillyhen6673 I don't think it is possible

[@hillbillyhen6673]

I looked up this pump and it goes up to 300 feet but expensive but worth it if power goes out - if yours is 450 try see what water table is they say up much higher than depth of well you possibly might be able to use it

[@williamt.7654]

[@baileylineroad]

Yes, the electric pump is still functional. The pipe leading from the submersible is underground, leading through a whole in the side of the casing about 5 feet below grade. Bye and thanks for watching, Steve
