Check out "Tera Pump". I don't have any of their water models but IIRC they do have food-grade ones available. I've got a couple of them for fuel and they're great (and they run well on Eneloops).

Stick a flexible tube in the top of the container. Set container on counter. Suck on tube until water flows into desired secondary container. It called a siphon and has worked since the dawn of time.

OP needs to specify if his bottles have screw threads at outlet or are without them. What is the Inner Diameter (I.D.) of the neck, and what is the Outer Diameter (O.D.) of the neck? Does OP want an electric pump, or manual?
Bottleneck (lol) may be getting a decent "food-grade" pump; a lot of the manual pumps offered by Grainger's and such are for commercial use and may not be "food" grade. It appears (from user comments) that some of the electric and manual pumps that are intended for Household use may not be as long-lasting as their commercial counterparts. It may be that the commercial versions can be "rebuilt" with new O-rings and gaskets. Just a guess, and no Expert. |

OP says, screw top standard 5 gallon water bottles. Unfortunately, they do have two different neck dimensions, even between the few I own, two different makers. OP would like a hand powered pump, not an electric. OP is grateful to all replies to OP's P.

Okay the OP wants to move water uphill. There is a simple way. At the bottom of the hill you have two tanks. Both are full one is airtight the other is vented. The vented tank has a line running to an airtight tank above. The other has a line running from that airtight tank to the other full airtight tank. Open a drain valve lower airtight tank. It will create a vacuum on the upper tank and draw water from the vented tank below.
Of course if your water source is something like a creek or river you can use the hydraulic energy from that to move water up hill. |

*scratches head* Creek? If I tip a water bottle over it might make a creek for a few seconds...but I'm in the desert, dude - we have washes, AKA, dry creek/river beds.
All I was looking for was a small hand pump that would be easy to use to pump water out of water bottles and possibly 55 gallon barrels. Is OK, disregard, thank you to all for your help. |

I have one of these https://goinggear.com/products/camelbak-hydrolink-tactical-hand-pump
Camelbak discontinued them. It's good to be able to pump water out of small seeps. Dipping water out of a spring with a teaspoon is no fun. |

OP would like a hand powered pump, not an electric. OP is grateful to all replies to OP's P. A quick search on typical web sites reveals many manual 5-gal water jug pumps, both threaded and non-threaded. I bought a couple a long time ago. Have yet to use them since tipping the jug in the correct "jug holder" is so much simpler and will never fail. Kinda like the tipping "jug holder" my grandparents used when I was a small kid. Here's a modern variant: Tilting Water Bottle Stand There are also non-tilting stands that angle the neck of the bottle downwards and which come with faucets for different types of bottles. Why use a pump when gravity will do the work? |

How about a small solar fountain pump, I use one to water a raised garden in the summer with a drip hose. Just set it up, turn it to the sun in the heat of the day and its done.

Solar is great until something dies. Using physics to move water always works. Well until someone figures out how to break the laws of physics.
