[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hand pump well

Posted: 9/1/2014 8:51:29 PM EDT

So the wife and I want to get one installed. We have an existing bucket well which is essentially a hole in the ground with a stone surround. Would it make sense to put the piping directly into the existing well or start all over in another spot?
I am going to pump out our existing one tomorrow to see how deep it is and what condition is in.

We've got a hand-dug, stone lined, well by our barn. Just put a concrete cap on the one you have and run a line down into it. Be sure to put a foot valve at the bottom.
