Bison offers a lifetime warranty on this deep-well hand pump. And they stand behind their products because they're THAT good. FloJak Plus is another great well hand pump system you can get up and running for any off-grid well.

It comes in a 50, , and foot options, depending on your well depth. And it's a narrow design that fits into an existing well beside an electric pump. Determine the depth of the static water level so you can adjust the length of the PVC pipe. Feeding it down the well may take a few people. Because you must position the rigid pipe slowly down beyond the water level.

Most of the upper, above-ground components are made of sanitary-grade stainless steel. Thus, are very rugged to last a lifetime. The pumping action pushes water up the rod and out the handle. For wells that have static water from feet, the Apocalypse AR and SJ models can do the pumping for you. They're designed with a pump and cable. This delivers water from your well with the upstroke pulling the cable.

And moving water up while weights and gravity produce the downstroke. The AR model pumps up to 3. The difference in models is the size of the piston and the length of the stainless steel cable.

This cable design is more cost-effective than pump rods. So they can lift water effectively from deeper wells. They also use Teflon seals, and unlike rubber seals that may last up to 10 years, Teflon is indefinite. They claim they may even outlast the well. All components are rustproof with PVC, Teflon, and stainless steel. And the installation is quick, clocking in at around 2 hours. When you raise the lever, a piston gets lowered, creating suction.

The Simple Pump is a key element of being prepared… along with food, heat and a good form of shelter. My brother and I removed the old submersible pump, the most difficult part of the installation, pulling 20' sections of pipe out of the well 4' at a time with the boom hoist on the tractor. After that, putting in the Simple Pump was a breeze. The parts were all there and well described the directions were well written and easy to follow.

With a set of vise-grips and a pair of channel-locks, in a couple of hours we had water. It took quite a bit of work to get the water up that ' that first time but now even if it hasn't been used for a couple of weeks all it takes is 6 or 7 strokes of the handle to bring up the water, I do recommend this device for it's simplicity and ease of operation.

Thank you for what I believe to be a superior product, and thank you for including a rebuild kit. I chose a simple pump because of its simplicity, ability to repair it myself, and pump from deep water if necessary. Scott Hunt out of Pickens SC is an excellent installer and resource regarding pumping water and powering pumps.

The pump is excellent and I may use Scott to help me with another project. A very satisfied customer. Hello, wanted to say I bought my pump last year, and finally got it in the ground last night. I am so impressed. And so easy to operate. Thanks for a great product. I have friends that are gonna be getting one now! My wife and I both believe strongly in buying local and supporting local business. However, in this instance, we do not hesitate to endorse the Simple Pump over the locally made Bison Pump.

I'm very happy with the Simple Pump. It's great knowing that our next power outage will be with water!!! It was very easy to install. I had a couple of buddy's over and we had it in and working in just over an hour. The Simple pump is significantly cheaper than the Bison pump. The Simple pump is also designed to be fairly easy to install by a reasonably skilled homeowner with a helper rather than needing to be installed using professional equipment.

The Simple pump might be a good choice if you want to have a complete system stored away in case it is needed in the future. The video instructions on the Simple Pump web site show how to install it. The drop pipe is lightweight plastic and the sucker rod is thin fiberglass that can easily flex to make assembly easy.

That is great if you have to install it yourself without the tools of a professional pump company. The same light weight and component flexibility that make it easy to install also mean that it clearly lacks the solid design and construction of the Bison Pump. Where the Simple Pump is light weight and easy to work with, the Bison Pump is solid and very heavy duty. Everything about it is top quality and it is obvious that they spared no expense in making this the best hand pump available.

The workmanship is flawless — welds are smooth and solid; machined parts are finished to a nice polish; moving parts work very smoothly. The material for the main pump body and the pump cylinder is solid stainless steel; the valve at the spout is brass or bronze ; the sucker rod is solid stainless steel; the drop pipe is Schedule PVC.

There is nothing that can rust, corrode, or deteriorate. For a hand pump installation that should last a lifetime, the Bison Pump is the hands-down winner.

This is the kind of solid made-in-America craftsmanship that this country used to be famous for. The Bison pump is not cheap pricing information here. There are some things in life where it makes sense to cut corners to save money. I am curious what you mean about the different uses for the two pumps. I have looked into these same two pumps.
