She's got a deep well, likely with 4" diameter casing - 6" tops if it is for residential water.LibDave » 14 Sep 2022, 5:16 am » wrote: ↑ Yes a hand pump would work... as in a bucket on a rope around an axle.
I did just now spot this:

"The Stalwart emergency hand water pump
This emergency hand pump is a possible solution to this dilemma. It is less expensive than a full-fledged hand pump, but yet it is touted as being fairly easy to operate and can work with static water levels down to 170 feet (supposedly). And best of all, it fits right along side all the pipe and wire in your well, meaning you don't have to pull anything to install or use this hand pump. It is fairly rudimentary, so don't think we are talking about a full-sized, real hand pump, but this could have its place. You'll need to find out if it is able to handle freezing weather and I question it's durability. But it certainly could be better than nothing! Here is the website for more info."
Though the product description says it will only lift 100'
