I have a sprinkler 2hp pump sitting on the ground, on concrete blocks. It looks like it goes into a 2" line, straight down. There is a check valve at ground level.
I would like to have a hand pump, in case power fails. One similar to those sold by HarborFreight. Our well is probably 20' deep.
Can I cut into this and rig the hand pump?
Some things I've read say I should run a 1 1/4" line down from the hand pump with a foot valve on the bottom. If this is the case, I'd say I can't use the 2" pipe coming up--------or-------can I use it with adapter fittings?
Is there a way I can use both my sprinkler pump and a hand pump?
