Re: Discovery of a well in the garden, installation of a hand pump

Here are the photos of my installation. The only problem I encountered was that the needle-type valve was too big to fit into the strainer-equipped pipe I had purchased previously.
So I had to add a larger pipe segment to the installation to accommodate it.

The installation is therefore composed from top to bottom:
of the pump,
additional segment for the passage of the needle type valve
strainer pipe
of the non-return strainer

Pipe passage through the concrete trap (with the characteristics of the additional pipe segment)

A big thank you for your sharing of experience which has greatly helped me in the completion of my project (which for me is more about tinkering than a lasting DIY ...)

But the goal has been reached: I will have water to plant my trees this winter!

Small photos of my situation for who will find it useful:

Pump bought a little urgently from Leroy Merlin, I do not recommend it, I do not think that given the original state it lasts me very long and especially I have a wall socket ... Without wall!


At the end of this pump, I connected a non-return valve bought from irrijardin then a 4m PVC pipe at the end of which I put a strainer. I did not use necklaces on the other hand but blue glue (as advised by the seller, I hope it will hold !!)

To raise it and make it a little "cleaner" I used a modest earthenware pot.
While waiting for better ...!

The end result, and most importantly: it works!


Good evening to all !

PS: what did the water analyzes give? Who to do them with?

Ahaha it's great as an installation! : Cheesy:
Regarding the analyzes, I ultimately did not do them. It costs between 65 and 100 € and for the moment the water is only used to rinse my compost bucket.
But I would be curious to try to see if I can water my animals with it although it remains to be seen, the metal of the pump already gives it a fairly strong smell and color from the start.

Your animals will not drink it if it presents a danger to them ...

The only thing safe in the future. It is that there may chance that it conforms to our expectations ...
