Manual water pump?

Posted: 9/12/2010 7:31:35 PM EDT

Anyone used a manual water pump on a well? My well is 300 feet deep, but i can see water about 75 feet. Can anyone reccomend a pump to bring water up about 100 feet?
Thanks, GNNC

Bison pumps are great to deal with. Highest of quality. My cousins have 2 one at home and one at camp. Mine should arrive in 1 week. I got the detachable pump so you can't even tell it from a normal well cap. The link is below.

Absolutely Bison. Depending on your electric setup, you should be able to co-locate the Bison with the regular well pump. No freeze ups either.

Check with your well guy to be sure the Bison will work for you before buying. I was fixing to pull the trigger on one of these and went and asked our well guy. He said our casing was too small for it and the AC submersible.

That bison is expensive. you can dig a shallow well and get a cast hand pump for cheaper. Although, the bison is sweet

Wisconsin used to make a decent deep well hand pump. Dont know it they are still in business now.
