We rely on electrical pumps for water but what happens when the power goes off for a while? This hand pump system works with your existing well to keep water flowing even with no electricity.
The electrical system is fragile and power can be out for hours or days in the event of storms, technical failure, or severe weather events. We need water to survive even if there is no power, and with this hand pump you will always be able to get the water you need from your existing well. It even works in freezing temperatures!! There is even a model for indoor use, or for shallow water sources such as rainwater harvesting systems
