I have a spring developed that gravity flows from the spring box with a sand bottom for filtration, through a 1" poly line into a 1,500 gal. Tank. Shallow well pump in the tank that pumps to my pressure tank. Procrastinated fir too long, but I'm ordering a hand pump to mount on a stand on the tank so we can access the reserve water even without electricity. Started researching solar the last couple days too. I'll have the cabin 100% off grid by years end.
Got complacent after Trump's win, but realizing now it's time to finish things up.
