“I have my own Deep Well and can draw water Manually if need be (not much but with a little manual labor enough to get by with)”

We are on utility water but want to get our 400’ well operational again, just in case. A manual pump costs about the same as electric, strangely. But I think that’s the way we’ll go.

A "well bucket" or "bailer bucket" is one solution to manually pulling water from a drilled well.

You can make one yourself or buy them ready made.

Here are a couple links to get started:
