Default well question

Who comes up with these questions ? I need to know what he means by a 40'
well. A hand pump has limits as to how high it can lift. Then, if the
lift isn't too great, I envision a T in the main line and a shutoff valve
between the T and the hand pump.


I just realized the lift is 40'. A hand pump won't lift more than about 22'.
