Joe…or anyone else……you know I’m not talking about the old fashioned wooden bucket down a wide, dug well, right? These devices are a LONG thin aluminum tube that can fit into a modern well pipe. They have a valve at the bottom to open as it’s lowered into the water to fill. The valve automatically closes when it’s raised. Listed at $80 currently. Obviously not for normal use but …..if it was your only water source…. I’d be afraid of easily contaminating the well tho.
From their site:
- Galvanized steel with watertight, crimped seams
