Have you considered backup power source for well pump -- even if
something you "manually" engage?



I can only think of a generator. But that's awfully expensive for a very
rare event. In the past 30 years, once for about three days, once a day or
so, and a few dozen for a few hours. For comfort inside I use a 12V deep
discharge battery, a fan and a light.
