Think I’ll just run my generator and use the pump that’s down there. It burns maybe a gallon of gas an hour, and can pump a lot of water in an hour. One of those big poly tanks they sell at the tractor store might be a good idea. That is right. Pain in the ass to pull that pump. On the other hand, in a dire SHTF situation, there will be some bad guys with guns out and about, looking for food and other stuff to steal. If they hear a generator running, they will go to the sound of that generator. And this guy with a generator will have a gun as well. I guess that generator can call em in then I can shoot em and take their guns and ammo. Win/Win. The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

You have a garden, some egg laying chickens, and a bunch of food in the basement. But there is no electricity. How will you get water? You have a well? Buy one of these and you will have water. It has a valve on the bottom. When it goes underwater, the valve opens. Cool, clear, water. No luck Googling Waterboy product information. Do you have a link to the product?

Properly prepared, life won’t change dramatically! 😉 Solar can provide, water well, irrigation, lights, refrigeration, charging battery powered tools, ect. It will make survival a bit more pleasant! memtb Last edited by memtb; 04/03/22.

The Rio Grande is pretty much always dry, unless they decide to release water for irrigation. 2 of the 3 aquifers here are brackish - they mix it with water from the lone fresh water aquifer, so the water quality is crap here - it stinks and is foul - full of calcium carbonate and such. Unless I can get a dehumidifier or some such, I'm fūcked. Even if I do, it's extremely dry here, so I'm not sure how much water it would produce. I do have about 30 gallons of filtered water on hand, but that won't last long at all. I need to move, but my daughter is here.

Float kicks the pump on when water drops below 6,000 gallons in the tanks. Water flows to the house at about 32 psi, and is boosted to 65 psi by our house pump, although we can easily get by with gravity pressure. So we are good for awhile and then there is the creek that runs through the middle of our property.
