Harbor Freight well hand pump install

[fcbclan]

your pump base is backwards

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@fcbclan Really? no wonder every time I pump the handle it drains my hot tube...lol

[MarvinLStohs]

Flexible Black PVC is called POLY PIPE

Hacksaws= 40 strokes per minute on the PUSH stroke !

[MarvinLStohs]

Have you ever heard of a "Pitless Adapter"???

[sonnier1972]

Good work !

[mosbysmen]

why no pump house ,save you from busted pipes in the winter

what did you run on the bottom of the hf pump

[tinsley0418]

Outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to show the expertise you have and enabling others to attempt what may otherwise seem like an impossible task. I have always believed that storing water for emergency or times of crisis could become the more difficult of all tasks. Thank you very much for this video.

[digthispixgod]

Nice job...I was wondering how I could do the same thing. thanks!

[TheSunergizer]

Great video. Don't forget some insulation. Don't want any pipes busting.

How about getting a cistern to store water and slowly fill it with the electric pump? And/or a small raised water tank to create some pressure indoors.

[PrepperCountry]

is water from a shallow well safe to drink...I was thinking about drilling my own shallow well out here on my property, but if it's not potable water then all I'll be able to use it for is the garden and watering the grass I guess...don't know if that's worth it to me right now...I've been told that you have to go down 100 feet here to get water, but if the shallow well is potable, then I'll give it a try and see if I can get water from a shallow well

[andrewsengineering]

@PrepperCountry That all depends on the formation the water is coming from and how well the formations above that are at preventing surface water from getting down there. As a general rule for a potable water supply your well casing should probably not be any less than 25ft and some regulations actually require at least 25ft of well casing. The only way you'll know is to drill it, put in the casing and seal it with bentonite, then chlorinate the well, flush it and have a sample tested.

[Sheila6325]

Great information, especially about the foot valve. Using the toilet piece is so smart, and fits great too! Getting ready to dig our shallow well too, so this is going to help a lot. Thanks.

[andrewsengineering]

Just a quick note, those type of hand pumps or as a general rule any hand pump that has to be primed by pouring in water or has an open top is not a sanitary solution for drinking water. The water used for priming and the open top can introduce bacteria into the well. I am a licensed well driller and that would not be approved in my state. Hand pumps used for supplying drinking water should have a sealed top and self priming with pump cylinder below the static water level. BTW nice job on this.

[kalif151byccrew]

Man you do some real good work. I have a quick question, is the water pressure really that dam intense throughout the house? or is it because of the location of the spout outside? and that water is well water so you're not paying for it right? It's relatively safe correct? sorry I had more than one question looks like. Great job, just subscribed .

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@kalif151byccrew That was the pressure coming off the pump. I have city water in the house and it does not have that kind of pressure. I have a couple of other videos on my channel on testing and filtering the well water. thanks for the sub...........

[kalif151byccrew]

@FUBARPROTOCOL I'm learning so much I need to do some research as well on basic plumbing and electric. I am minimal with the knowledge maybe 6 months as a maintenance engineer for a hotel so I'm not completely stupid. nice way to show your location the fema region. I changed all my profiles to my region!

[jerryleethe1]

Nice job, good vid. Just PVC brakes down in sun light. Get a rattle can and paint it all. to block the UV rays. It well last years longer. You are now set for a long term power outage.

[phantomcharger]

nice clean job, and really good to have when the SHTF

Very impressive, thanks for sharing!

[jeffery19677]

Plumbers don't use wrap-a-rounds!!!!LOL



[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@jeffery19677 I know, I am a old pipe fitter welder. lol

[TheCromeShop]

great video - hope this helps others learn a thing or two. Thumbs up!!

[econewpower]

Nice, nice, NICE! I like it.. I wish I had a shallow well so I could do the same thing.

Great thinking buddy!

[gainerspot]

Thanks fubar, I have a well and was thinking of how to get it set up something like that. I enjoy all you videos, Im at about 4 months into my prepping and have a massive food storage and rain collection system, and never enough ammo but working on it.

[Kargg0]

haha "WELL worth the effort"...

[railroadswitchman]

Now that is a good idea for sure, thanks for sharing

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@railroadswitchman Your welcome....

[CannonMan0]

Typical good job from Fooby. You can even drain it in freezing weather (if it ever freezes again in Texas) thru the unions.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@CannonMan0 Thanks for the kind my friend

[brooklynprepper]

great!!!!! now i have to get one!!!!!!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@StatenIslandPrepper Thank you Sir..

[bubbaducks]

Nice work bro...Well done!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@bubbaducks Thanks !

[S1nn3r1]

Alright Brother. Good video info, thanks.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@S1nn3r1 Thanks !

[prescottbill]

How deep is that well, and how deep will that hand pump work? Great job on that "fix".

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@prescottbill The maximum depth from which water can be raised by any pump that relies on

suction is approximately 34 feet. That's because suction pumps raise water in

a tube by creating a partial vacuum above the water; atmospheric pressure

forces the water up the tube. Atmospheric pressure will support a water column

no higher than 10.34 meters, or about 34 feet.

[missouriprepper]

nice looking setup, looks like you did a neat job on the plumbing.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@missouriprepper Thanks !

[usfreedom22]

Its about dam time!!!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@usfreedom22 Get off me ! You Dam Knuckle Head......... lol !

[tjar12]

Very good job there. I was looking to set up a solar power system for my dad's pump but this looks even better. Thanks for this vid.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@tjar12 Thanks !

[TacticalCitySlicker]

lol "WELL worth the wait"

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@TacticalCitySlicker lol !

[fanman1981]

Very well done!! Thanks for the great advise...I think that plastic stuff is azac or  a-zack that's what i heard contractors call it when they trim windows and doors outdoors...

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@fanman1981 Thanks !

[Floridaprepper]

Love the music!!!!!!!!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@Floridaprepper Thanks !

[saracenjohn]

great vid and was that plastic acrylic/perspex?

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@saracenjohn I think it is some kind of poly.

[VisualArticulation]

Superb!!!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@VisualArticulation Thanks !

[PopPrepper]

"It was Well worth it" Nice one! and Nice info. I have yet to tackle the well project but will be drilling at home and the shop. Thanks

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@PopPrepper Thanks !

That is great!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@northwestprepper Thanks !

[HedgehogOutdoors]

I have a hand pump from the 1800s I believe, we don't use it for anything though. Next summer I would like to make a rain barrel and have that to pump it.

[EastCoastPrepper]

Thanks for showing us fubar. This is great info and it is free...lol Thanks brother..

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@EastCoastPrepper Thank you my Friend......

[BexarPrepper]

I like your new entro. Getting the water out of the well without the pump was invaluable! Blessings!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@BexarPrepper Thanks Bexar !

[Altonmcc]

I have a submerged pump at 160 ft do you think this would work for my application?

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@Altonmcc  Iam not sure. You can google it to find that imformation

[Outdoorsurvivalist94]

Sweet I have a 30% off cupon for harbor fright I'm going yo go check them out

[StrikerTripleThree]

Great Vid n info.Thanks

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@StrikerTripleThree Thanks !

[FrontCortex]

Very nice! Looks like you're almost ready for 0bama's final "Crush America" Hail-Mary Pass.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@FrontCortex Thanks Cortex !

[RoflmaoAtSheepeople]

great tune from the 2000 alu I think right. great vid here have you sent out a sample to test the warter make sure its good,It cost me $60.00 2 years ago for a sample was good you should do this every 2 years if you can.maybe you did this already. thank foe the vid Also you can use a old pool pump and filter system to clean up the water.and a 10 micion filter.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@RoflmaoAtSheepeople Yes I have tested the water. I have a couple of videos on my channel showing how I tested it. Good idea on the pool filter. Thanks !

[edgybob1]

This is great. i was talking to my wife a while back about drilling a well that would work off an electric pump and a hand pump. She said she didn't think it could be done, but you have done it!!!. Thanks Fubar.

I will mark this as a favorite so I can go back to it.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@edgybob1 Thanks Bob !

[LeonRFpoa]

this is so money

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

[boat6868]

Very nice.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@boat6868 Thanks !

[rage340]

Nice work! You got a little fitter in you too I see!

thanks for sharing

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@rage340 Thanks Rage ! No thats not a filter. It's another little check valve.

[rage340]

@FUBARPROTOCOL not filter , fitter as in pipefitter/plumber skills, lol!!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@rage340 LOL ! Yes, I can fit and weld pipe my friend. Well I used to be able to weld pipe. Been quit a few years.

[cokeman250]

Good work man now i quess its my time to hook up an electric pump to mine lol really that was a good instructive video thanks for doin it and God Bless

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@cokeman250 Thanks Mr. Coke !

[steev5x5]

looks good, great idea. are you going to seal the openings around the pipe outlet cut outs? is it necessary? if so what would you use? do you think spray foam would hold up in the weather?

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@steev5x5 Yea I am going to use some silicone To seal it.

[minbound]

Nice job brother, came out really nice.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@minbound Thanks Min !

[starvingtech]

How deep is that well?

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@starvingtech  20 feet.......

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@rondygal Thanks for the kind comment.......

[MyDaddysgirl44]

Nice!! Love the idea of both applications to retrieve your water.. very smart !!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@MyDaddysgirl44 Thanks for the comment.......

[SCJMO]

Well done man! Thanks for taking the time to share this, I bet you'd make Engineer775 proud! For such a small afternoon project it has huge potential to pay you back should you lose city water for whatever reason. Or is that your primary water source?

Thats awesome to able to cross that off your priorities of work! I wish that I could say the same!

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@SCJMO Thanks for the comment.......

[Yankeeprepper]

you do good work man. Always thankful for your time.

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@Yankeeprepper Thanks for the kind comment Yankee..........

[PintoBlades]

Sweet! Love it...wonder if the city would let me hand pump their water! LOL

[MadBadVoodo]

Great Vid Man!!
