How far down is the water. A hand powered pump will only lift water 22 feet. A shallow well jet pump should not cost $900 but will require either a plumber to connect it in or an electrician to do the wiring. You can do most of the work yourself and have somecheck it over and save considerably.

I am writing from Bison Pumps in Houlton, Maine. We are guessing from the picture that this is a dug well vs. a drilled well with a 6" steel casing? Bison Pumps manufacture hand pumps that would work for either application. If we knew the total depth of the wall along with the distance from ground down to the top of the water standing in the casing, we would be happy to price a hand pump package for your application. Our hand pumps are made of 304 Stainless Steel and finely crafted by Maine tradesmen. Bison Pumps can be used year-round regardless of the climate. We invite you to visit our website, www.bisonpumps.com. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We would love to hear from you. Thanks
