I need to have my well pump fitted with that hand pump option. Hmmm...

At the first sign things are getting dicey, fill up every tub, sink, bucket, trash can and other receptacle with water.

Water is a grossly under-discussed issue in survivalism. Rain & well collection/storage/purification should be be central to house design; likewise the first thing in the bugout bag.

Check into the Bison pump. Will fit into a 4” casing without having to pull your existing submersible pump.
You can use both at the same time.

Do both. And keep a couple of plastic 50 gallon trash barrels in the garage to put under the water spout when it rains. In a disaster situation people will be shocked to see how much water they actually go through on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

And remember one needs not only water for consumption and cooking but for bathing, washing dishes and clothes, etc. etc. A way to store non-potable water is important too.

I’m planning to do a lot of homework on that subject over the fall and winter, and expect to have plants next year.
Multiple motivations on this: Lessen reliance on my neighborhood grocer, family opportunity to learn, and of course.... prepping.

I don't think I'd be too surprised at how much water gets used.
I lived for over a year in a 12' x 8' shack with no running water. I carried water. I handled the other plumbing in other ways.
Been there, done that, not a keyboard warrior like you find around here.
