Yes. The idea is to get water with no power, at least cost.


Unless the water table is within 22 or so feet vertically of the
hand
pump, the hand pump won't work.

Look at the 100L hand pump. The one we had back in the 1930's
wouldn't lift 500 feet like this will but it DID do what I said it
did!! Some people just don't have a clue and all they know to do is
turn on the faucet.
