[@ellenshumate5106]

Patara your husband done an awesome job talking about that pump. He is truely a great host and you both are blessed to have each other. I can tell that you 2 are just as much in love now as you were probably when you met if not more and I only say that because it is almost rare to see love like that even though me and my husband are the same way. Thanks for all you guys are doing!!!!

OMG!! ❤🎉 I LOVE this Company!! Simple Pump Co., LLC is a family-owned and operated business located in Minden, NV. And they are completely Made in USA!! 🇺🇸

[@sixgunmiller6198]

My grandpa built their home around the pump, It was an old style pitcher pump, he built the house that way so the pump actually pumped directly into the kitchen sink so Grandma didn't have to go outside to get it. I still have that pump where both my sister and I know how to rebuild it with homemade leathers

That's so cool!

[@ODINS_daughter]

That's what my Uncle did too! Built the home and farm around the well and the water went directly to the kitchen sink. I wish he was alive so I could ask him more. Like... why did he build a pump house structure around his hand pump well. Why did he install a windmill for it? ) I know besides servicing the house it also pumped water to huge stationary water tank 6 feet away from it into to fenced area for the horses. If anyone has any answers to why farmers built a well house and had a windmill, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

[@605pilot]

I had a Simple Pump installed 2 years ago on my homestead. I will always have water for myself, 3 horses and two dogs no matter what. Depending on a gas/electric generator is foolhardy because you’ll eventually run out of fuel. Depending on solar is risky in case of an EMP attack. Simple Pump and a wood stove are a must for every homestead.

[@brendasusanchristensen7058]

James, thank you for explaining in laymens terms for those of us who would want it explained simply! Patera, you got the pick of the litter! I did too according to my granny!

[@sabinakruse7369]

A simple pump and a freeze dryer were our two most important preps on our list. Got the fd, then got our simple pump last year. I felt like a HUGE weight was lifted off our shoulders.

[@thesouthernshirehomestead]

We’re seriously considering investing in a freeze dryer. Pump is priority #1 for us, but the FD is probably next.

[@patrinaseay433]

You two, are adorable! James did an AWESOME JOB, explaining the Simple Pump! Please thank James for his service to our country. Our whole family are military. I am 80 yrs. young, born in the military and told my Dad, that I would never marry someone in the military, bc we moved so much. But he had to laugh when I did marry a AIR FORCE man, that served 27 years. God bless you both!👍🏻💕🇺🇸

Great job explaining everything James! You’re a natural teacher.

[@charleselertii6187]

Excellent Job James and Patara too! Just a suggestion: put 4 big posts around the pump, maybe 3 feet? away to PROTECT it from accidently backing into it with the tractor. We are all human. Also deep snow might hide it and be suseptable to being run over! Cheers, Chuck in Florida.

[@trishgels]

I was thinking you could disguise it, too, from prying eyes...

[@ChristinemAlred-mn5if]

[@mariebarnes416]

James should be a teacher. I don't have a well but I found this extremely interesting. Thank you James very informative.

[@l.l.2463]

Thank you! We had our well rehabilitated etc. several years ago. I asked the owner of the company about putting in some kind of non-electrical pump so we could have water if the power was out. He dismissed my concerns. Said he didn't want a second set of pipes going down the well to narrow the well case/pipe and cause the pipe or pump to bang against the side when the electric pump was running. Our well is only 130ish feet deep. I accepted it at the time because I didn't have time to argue with him. But you've inspired me to bring it up with him again to ask him to install this system. We don't have your know-how to do it ourselves.

[@dirtroaddestiny]

We went from using rain water to finally getting a well for our farm it took awhile but we got there. So thank you for this video. ❤

[@karenfinch7838]

Thanks James. I have been wondering which hand pump to get for my well. Only problem is going to hiking up the hill to the well in 3' of snow to pump it twice a week or even once a week. I'm 73. It's quite walk uphill.

[@terrifraser8500]

Totally digging the James content! I love the way he explains things in simple terms so we can all understand the topic. I vote for more classroom time with James :)

When we bought ours it was $75. The price has went up since then, but if you lost electricity, this would be a major asset for a minor investment.

[@user-yi9sr6fg3t]

We've had our Simple Pump for a number of years now. My husband did the install.... It took him a little longer than he expected. Our well is 400 ft deep so the big challenge was not dropping something down it as he worked! We love it and it still works great!

[@davidturner3552]

As a homeschooling Mom I give Mr.Patara an A+ on his oral report. I loved hearing from him. I raised an engineer, put hubby through 3 degrees. So I'm partial to smarty pants. I'm jealous as we have no well. We think of getting out of the city but husband's work is important. He'd have to commute or live away from him in a second home but we like each other. And we too have a teen Gabe so maybe when he's older!

[@thesouthernshirehomestead]

We’re going to be investing in a hand pump this year. That and getting our wood cookstove installed are our top priorities for preparedness on our homestead in 2023. We get cold up here in Watauga County, NC! We need an option like this.

Good stuff!

[@victoriabecraft6166]

We installed a hand pump on our well a couple of years ago and have never regretted it; a backup to the backup. I was also told to pump water through it a couple of times a week. Just so I remember, I pump it on laundry day. We do have a whole house generator (which runs on gasoline or propane). I refuse to turn on the generator just to flush a toilet or light my house (I have oil lamps). If I run the generator 15 minutes out of every hour, it keeps my refrigerator cold and my freezer food solid.

[@marthaconover5027]

So when is his channel starting?! 😊 Great job explaining the water pump system. Maybe he could do a series of “handy on the homestead” items and teach important things like how they work or installation, etc. Bless you both!

[@normamccomas9272]

What a great salesman for the company!! We want one!!! Great job Mr. James!!❤❤xxoo

[@ellenlefavour628]

I started with a hand pump on my little homestead, which is completely off grid. I started getting too buff for a 68 year old woman hand pumping all the water I needed for the animals, so got a peripheral solar pump to use Yah’s sun to draw the water for me. HalleluYah, it has been such a blessing. I still have a pitcher pump on standby for when the sun turns black as sackcloth and solar doesn’t work. I have a dual fuel generator for emergency battery charging during extended overcast periods, but with the price of gas and propane going up, I don’t use it unless I really need to. Love your videos.

[@tevansrn1]

We bought one based on your recommendation and had installed last June. It is awesome!!!

[@lynnschantz9185]

I keep telling my husband that we need an old windmill to be able to pump water in case of emergency’s. Now I know I don’t need one, this simple pump is so much smarter and cost effective especially with the veterans discount.

I purchased and installed a Flojak hand pump this past year. It was considerably less than the simple pump, and does have the Stainless steel upper part, but I'm only pumping from 30 feet of pipe (my water level is only 8-10 feet below the top of the well casing). For a deep well, the simple pump looks like a more reasonable option. Excellent show! Thank you for the all the details.

[@amaliamichele949]

When I was little, we lived in a little farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. The house had built into it , in the unheated cellar a reed hand pump. You could pump water anytime. When the electricity in the house failed, you still had fresh water at your disposal, and you were indoors. So cool!
