How to get water from your well without using electricity

[hawgrider]

Know what your options are when the grid goes down, and you need water.
So there you are, sitting at home in your favorite recliner, watching your favorite hunting show, when everything goes dark. The TV’s off, the lights are out, and if you have a well for your home, you don’t have access to water. This situation happened to me, and luckily, the power was restored within a few hours. But what if it hadn’t been restored? What were my options? http://www.wideopenspaces.com/get-water-from-your-well-without-using-electricity/

My backup plan is the well bucket torpedo. But I have never heard of the solar pumps before. I kind of like that idea. I found this on amazon.

Of course you'll also need the $20 controller, a panel and a battery. Or you could just run it off of commandeered car batteries.

The price is good!

I bought two galvanized well buckets already. I would have to research those electric pumps was the well at my bug out location has about 125 foot draft.
