Hand Pump with Solar and Storage Tank
Return to Simple Pump
For Greater Emergency Flexibility add a 200 - 500+ poly reservoir and either gravity feed or pressure-pump water to your home. A 12 volt motor home pump can pressurize your entire home. A reservoir with a 12 volt RV pump works very well with either hand or motor driven pumping. You can also substitute the reservoir and float for a standard pressure tank. The style of reservoir shown works best with float switches. A single solar panel or wind unit with a small battery can power the 12 volt motor drive.
