S1 pump (SKU: X01-22)S1 pump (SKU: X01-22)The S1 pump is designed to fit into 100mm (4 inch) or larger well/bore casings. The pump requires a submersion to lift ratio of over 1/3. *That means if you have a well/bore that's 90ft deep, you need at least 30ft of water in the bottom to flow to the top.
Price:    $549.00
567.56 USD

This thing sounds great for a back up or WTSHTF.

but this* sounds like one would need a river at the bottom of the bore hole

*That means if you have a well/bore that's 90ft deep, you need at least 30ft of water in the bottom to flow to the top.

No moving parts and it seems to work well for a well that deep. It should be good for lake pumping too.

I don't understand the terminology.  What does "30' of water in the bottom" mean?     The pump submerged 30' below the water line? 

Wow

 I think based on the pumps capability to move water inside a [ipe it needs that much as not to pump the well dry and wait for recovery. Just guessing.A lot of it also has to depent on how fast water flows into the pipe(well casing). I just like the idea of everything being above ground and cheap.

This looks like a cheap way to procure drinking water....

Fifty bucks for super clean water.  For packing and space saving,  those two bucket will hold a lot of necessaries - two five gallon bug out buckets.  Zoom zoom

Well water is not contaminated unless something from above ground has gone down the casing or some evil corporation or farmer is pouring so many contaminates on the ground that they are seeping 90+ feet through the earth.  And that Brumby is very attractive for an emergency situation, irrigation also. Paying the well digger's labor to haul up 100' of pipe is a lot more expensive than reeling up a hose.

I still can't figure that 30' of water.

It's not necessarily that 30' of water is a requirement; what's needed is the well/bore have at least 1/3 of it's length filled with water.  This pump aerates the water; it isn't pushed drawn up so much as it bubbles up and that much static water in the well/bore is needed to create a pressure difference so there is enough water already present to bubble and move up the pipe.

Thanks, now all that's necessary to do is run a measuring tape to the bottom of the well then draw it back up and see if thirty feet of it is wet.  ::thinking::
