Hi Folks!
We recently purchased a piece of land in the woods several miles from the last electric line.
However...
There is a 6-inch well with a water depth of 22-23 feet. (The previous owner had planned to build a cabin, as we plan to do some time in the future.)
Lacking electricity, we need a hand pump to use the well. But the depth sounds like it's at the end of the acceptable range for a pitcher pump. Will a better quality pitcher pump work? Or should I be looking at the more sophisticated lever pumps (www.simplepump.com)?
Thanks!
Dave
