Today we rebuild an antique hand operated Well Pump, take it out to our remote OFF GRID property and drive a Sand Point well by hand. Nothing is more important to an off grid homestead than water. In this video you'll see everything you need to know to do this job yourself.

Mr. Whipple. I would like you to know that I appreciate your videos very much. I've been watching for some time and I finally realized that whenever I look down my list of suggested videos my eye automatically stops when I see you or your wife's videos. We (my son and I) are going to put in a hand pumped well on our remote property this summer and we have no experience. We've watched videos but today I saw this one and I told my son to forget the others - this dude is the guy to watch. I bet we watch this video 20 times until we learn what to do. When I build a little "house" for the pump to sit on, I'm going to name it: Dave's Well - to honor the man who shared his knowledge and seems like a very kind soul. Thank you.

From 1974 to the spring of 1979 my parents, my younger brother and I lived up on a very tall mountain called Beechy Ridge in Clay County, West Virginia. We had a well behind our home with a cast iron hand pump just like the one your video. During the blizzard of the winter of Jan. 1978, I was thirteen years old and we had 12 to 20 ft snowdrifts in our yard from the Storm. We had to dig out from around home and our well and use newspapers to create a fire around the cast iron pump to thaw out the water line that went down into the well before we could pump water out of it. You see, we did not have running water inside of the house at that time and that was our only source of water for our family. Those old cast iron pumps could take a beating for sure. When I saw you in the thumbnail with this pump it brought back so many memories fore about that time. I'd love to go back and live there again. The water from our well tasted so sweet. 🥰😊 Thank you for bringing back some good memories for me! 💖🧓

Still trying to figure out why you would make a fire to thaw a well with 12 foot snow drifts. I grew up onba farm and pulled many a well to thaw out pipes but ours was electric pump with dual 100 gallon storage tanks. Why not get a foot tub and thaw some snow or bring in a metal pale of snow and out it on a wood burning stove....and there you have fresh water. Seem like a lot of work for a hand pump when thousands of gallons of water are already laying above ground.

I don't tell them that It has running water, but only from an RV pump that draws from a drum that is supplied by a pitcher pump. It is great to see the look on their faces when they see that they have to pump the water for their own shower or to flush the toilet. 😂

@@Bushradical great job Dave!!! As an old Well driller, I enjoy seeing others drill(drive) a well, and have success!!! Here's a few tricks.... Don't dig your hole until you hang your hammer and use it like a plumb bob when you have it steady then drop it so the stem sticks in the ground then you know exactly where to dig and it keeps your pipe straight... The other trick is not really a trick but I would love to see you finish off the hole with a couple of bags of Bentonite.(you can order it from Valley Well Supply, I think they have a warehouse in Grand Rapids) It usually comes in pellet form or powder.. it's basically a clay that the ground water and rain is absorbed into it, it swells up and seals the ground to your pipe... It stops contaminants from following the pipe down to the water vein... You can always add it by digging out some of the dirt around the pipe and then add a couple bags I think the bags are $10 a piece $20 is great insurance that you're well will never get contaminated if a can of gas gets spilled or whatever contaminant maybe in the vicinity... I know you're careful and so is Brooke. But you never know.. Also if you hill up the dirt around your pipe it will help rain water and other things to run off. Take care Dave, like I said earlier great video and I'm glad that you and Brooke were successful in getting water on your new place. And I would love to come and help you on the next one. Oh ps, when I do a hand driven well I always carry a half horse shallow well pump then I can just fire up the generator and put the pump on and run it for a half hour 45 minutes and that water will be Crystal clean.... You can also judge how many gallons per minute the well is producing. But you guys did it with the hand pump so bravo!!!

It's actually not possible what you see in this video. The debit is allways a lie. If you've got the pipe 1 meter under the water, there is no way you can have more than 1 litter of water. A simple cillinder volume calculation will asure you of that. I mean, there is no way you can pull more than 2 litter of water until the down spring get's empty. And after that you'll have to wait around 3-5 minutes for the spring to refill the pipe. This is math. I know it, becouse I've got one of these. Nobody tells you this in these videos. It's all "optimistic" and against physics.

My Dad, some 40+ yrs ago, took a 1.5” auger-secured an appropriate handle on to it and worked it down about 14 feet in our backyard. He got beautiful freshwater 💦. At the time we were under strict water restrictions. Dad had the best 👍 veggie garden around and we could swim all we liked ❤️ in our small (even for those days) 10ft diameter 3ft deep pool. We didn't care. My Father had about the same pressure as town water and he maintained he could pump, at that rate, all day. All for a small auger (from a brace-and-bit system). He could divine water accurately. Got to go but good luck with ALL your Off-Grid ventures. Ellen Queensland, Australia.

Saves the back and pulling the rope down probably uses stronger muscles than lifting the pounder up prior to each drop. It got me thinking about rigging something so I could use my leg to lift the pounder. I'm think of tying a foot loop on a separate 10' length of line with a sliding friction knot (a rolling, taut line or Blake's hitch) tied to the main rope. This should let me slide the friction hitch either direction on the pounder rope as necessary to change the length as the pipe is driven deeper or reset when another section of pipe were added. Might work . . . maybe it'd just make a big, tangled mess! 😂

If you're in an area where the water is too deep for a hand drawn well there's a great workaround. Set up a vertical axis wind turbine to draw the water up into a storage reservoir. Have your reservoir buried just below the frost line. Be sure to have some kind of disengage connected to a float so you only fill to the full mark. The wind will draw your water nearly up to the surface where it can then be hand pumped easily and yet not get frozen. ..

@@sakoupa Wind turbines of all sorts have been pumping water out of the ground for centuries. I think the vertical axis is the best design. There are many vertical axis videos you can find easily. It can operate an efficient pump which can draw water from great depths. This is especially true since the water doesn't have to be drawn in anything more than a small trickle. You do not need a large number of gallons per minute, just a trickle from as deep as you need to go. Your reservoir can be a food grade tank of perhaps 50-200 gallons. Bury the tank below the frost line and direct the pumped water into it. You'll need some way to deal with the extra water. Maybe a float to indicate when the tank is full. Some way to prevent an unwanted overflow. Either to disengage the turbine or the pump when the tank is full. If you disengage the turbine instead of the pump, you can save some wear and tear on your pump. However you do it, you do not want overflow to be pumped above the frost line and get frozen in your system. There are simple ways to do that which require no electricity, which is the whole point. No electricity required. Then you'll need a hand pump similar to the one demonstrated in this video. Set it up to draw water from the reservoir which will only be about 6-8 feet below ground depending on your local climate. Very easy on the arm when the water is not so deep. Just a few strokes and you have all the water you need. I hope this makes things more clear. ..

I was 100% invested in that drill , I swear I was there with you !!!! 🤣🤣And that was from all the way down here in Aussie !! So proud of you both. You stir up so many memories of my childhood on the farm with just your old fashioned approach to everything. Just like my old Dad, no training in anything other the school of "You want something done ? Do it yourself son". Love both of your pioneer spirit , infused with the Holy Spirit. 🤗👏👏👏👏🙏💞🇦🇺 ps I'm 1of his 4daughters but all 7 kids were addressed as "son".

Great vid. Just some tips. 1. If you wait until after wet weather to bore it makes it vastly easier. 2. You can use additional pulleys to reduce to felt weight (the force needed to lift it) of the "hammer", you were using just a single pulley (a single pulley setup is known as a "single whip"), by adding just 1 more pulley you could have halved the force you would have needed to lift the weight of the hammer (this pulley setup is known as a gun tackle). Or if you'd used 2 x double wheel pulleys (known as "twofold purchase") you could have reduced the force needed to lift the weight by 3/4, making it much easier (or giving the ability to use a much heavier weight to increase the boring speed).

In 1958 my wife, Fran, and I built our home in the woods in south Jersey. We drove the well just like you and used a picture pump for our water. Dug our cesspool by hand. Built our home together and raised our two daughters. The home is gone, my wife and one daughter are gone. Now I live on Bainbridge Island, Washington with my daughter and I still have that pump. Thank you for the memories. James

Just a suggestion, when you rebuild the while you have the pump a part ,you should clean/polish the bore. You can use engine cylinder hone if you do not have one, you can use a wire wheel on a drill finish with fine sandpaper rinse out any rust or dirt. This will give a tighter seal and the leathers will last longer. Just a thought, I have been rebuilding or repurposing items over 50 years. GOOD LUCK GREAT VIDEO KEEPIT UP

Your narration just gets better and better (if that is possible!) and seeing you and Brooke working together and living your dreams is why I’m here.

Couldn't agree more, since everything is made in China quality items are rare and if they are still available they cost 10 times as much as the 'normal' stuff. it's often better to use something old. Note, the high price of the quality goods nowadays is not outrageous and actually mirrors the price of these things 100 years ago in terms of purchasing power of the people. We are just used to cheap stuff and we have 20 times as many junk in our possession as our ancestors, they had fewer things but if they had something it often lasted for 30-50 years My grandfather (1920) was a woodworker and his workshop tools are still usable today, we gave them to some traditional crafts club since nobody in my family wants to use them. They were very happy with it. (I kept a few things as a keepsake)
