The Challenge: Dependence on Electric Water Systems

Cody’s property relies on a standard submersible electric pump—efficient but completely dependent on grid power. As he explains in the video, if the grid is down, the taps are dry. For rural homeowners, that is a serious vulnerability. Cody wanted a manual backup that could deliver real household pressure and integrate cleanly with his existing system.

The Solution: Installing the Simple Pump

After researching alternatives, Cody chose the Simple Pump Deep Well Hand Pump, which is designed to sit alongside a submersible pump and reach deep static water levels.

Highlights he calls out in the video:

• Precision engineering and an overbuilt feel in the best way.
• Smooth operation with low effort, even for family members.
• Thoughtful design where parts fit together as expected, with clear instructions.

During installation, he assembles the pump head, connects the fiberglass lift rods, and lowers the cylinder into the well casing. He emphasizes that the process is straightforward for a capable DIYer with basic tools.

The Results: Reliable Water—Anytime

Post-install, Cody tests the pump as a standalone hand pump and connected to his plumbing. He demonstrates:

• Steady, pressurized flow to fixtures.
• No priming hassles.
• Smooth strokes with minimal effort.

His bottom line: the Simple Pump materially improves water security on the homestead.

Key Takeaways

• Self-reliance starts with water. A manual backup ensures access when the grid fails.
• Quality matters. Components are engineered for durability and longevity.
• DIY-friendly. Installation is achievable with common tools and clear steps.
• Real performance. Capable of pressurizing household plumbing when configured accordingly.
