We installed a cheap well hand pump at our off-grid property…will it work?

    We live in Oklahoma.. drink our well water every day. Best water around.

      The hand pump is still working great at our little campground area. We have a filtration system at our cabin which helps to remove the tannins from the water we drink 😊

    The cool thing about that little pump is you could use a tap and die kit to thread it for a water hose. Or even just use a hose clamp to clamp a hose over the end.

      Thank you for the suggestion. We are planning someday to build a pump house over there that works on solar so guests have a bath house. Right now the focus is on the cabin but this little pump has been great for watering the fruit trees over there

    Thanks for making this video, I've just bought one of these to try and it's nice seeing one working. I'm trying to figure out the pipework in advance but I think I might wait to see what they send me first!

      We can tell you after having it a few months that it is still working but there are some rust spots showing so we are not sure the longevity of it but for the price it is working out great!

    The welded coupling on the pump is metric threads, where am I going to find that?

      @@gregbalder1127 I dont recall ours being metric, if it was, there must have been an adaptor because it just threaded together for us. We will look closer when we return from vacation

    Hi hello maam,may ask pls.if how deep was your deep well that can suct that hand pump, as per as i see on the hand pump it can only suct 9M deep if its suct beyond that then that's great and awesome maam Godbless,Thanks

    • @theblueriverhaus

      It is a shallow well so its about 30’ (9M). Its not rated for a deep well so you would want a submersible well pump for anything deeper. It’s still holding on out there but showing signs of wear (the plastic handle broke off and some light rusting spots at welds).

    how deep is the well ?

      It is a shallow well so around 30’ or so. I do not believe this little hand pump will work on a deep well. Eventually we will build a solar pump house over there but for now it has been working great to hand water the fruit trees and rinse off on a hot day
