Is there an old fashioned manual pump that will work on a deep well?

I’m not sure - the ones we’ve found work on our local wells, but, admittedly, they’re not REAL deep...

It might be a good investment to get that 6-pack and a couple of pounds of hamburger and have the local plumber over for a barbecue/skull-session - if he hasn’t already thought the problem through, he should at least give you some ideas that would be suitable to your local conditions...

take of the top cover of the well, and lower a smaller diameter pipe into the well, with the bottom capped. Let it fill, and pull it back up. Might not be fast enough to take a luxurious bath, but will satisfy thirst and cooking.

ps, not my idea, I read it on an earlier thread.
