Can you install a hand pump on a well?
I installed a simple pump for my well a couple of years ago and it works fine. You will need to know your well depth, the waters static level, and pipe diameter. All this info should be available from your well driller.
Thank you so much for the information.
It depends on what kind of installation you have in your existing well. Our well has spacers or something to keep stuff from fraying, and we couldn’t put a hand pump on it because of that.
We drilled a second well this summer, and have a hand pump on it. A well driller, preferably the one who installed your existing well will tell you if you can put a hand pump on it.
