Hi Ken, I use a 12v RV pump($50) with a 12v lawn&garden battery($16) with a trickle charger($12). This will supply 3gpm for several days on one battery charge. The pump has it's own pressure switch and is fully automatic in a "T" configuration. You will need a cistern storage tank to draw from. For 2 people without (washing machine or showers) takes about 50gal perday if you have low flow toilets. You'll pay about $40 more for a 200gal tank than a 100gal tank. Agri-supply.com has great tank prices. I bought a new 1600gal PE tank for $500 delivered from plastictank.com this summer, a smoking good deal. We don't supply aux power to any of our community wells nor pipelines but we don't loose power that often, twice a year average. There's enough of us that do have generators incase the Utility stays off longer than 24hrs so we could fire up a well if we had too. I think lossing power will be a common occurance for the next 10yrs for most of the country. T_Bone
