You don’t see too many of these manual water pumps anymore my friend….🙄
Many years ago, this was common place for homes!
Way before my time Lol😇🤣

Sort:  

yeah, it has fallen out of popularity. water from these cannot be drunk so i guess that is the main reason

That makes sense, they are usually too shallow and can be contaminated with the ground water. Definitely not safe to drink!🙄

they also taste rusty. probably from the rusted pipes.

That could be my friend…🤔
In some areas of well water, they have a high level of iron naturally in the water. That could be also what you taste.😇

also possible. but this has gone out of popularity

So very true the same over here, my friend!😄
