Hey all,
I recently purchased an older home (early 1900s) with a pitcher pump well that has fallen into some decay. I tried running a 35 ft. measuring tape down the shaft and it came back fairly wet at the end, though I'm not certain if that indicates the well itself is still usable. Local well drillers I've talked to are either unresponsive or only interested in projects involving a new well entirely being drilled.
I had thought that perhaps something like the Legacy Food emergency hand pump might work to extract water without fixing the entire pump shaft, but having never used it before I'm uncertain.
Any thoughts?
