Two Is One

I heard a good saying today about being prepared. It goes like this, "Two is one and one is none.". Makes good sense. For instance. We have a well. There has been at least three times since we've lived here that our well has gone down. In the past when this happened we had no water to the house or for the animals. Last fall I had to replace our pressure tank. In the process, I was able to install a hand pump capable of pumping water from 300' deep. It really is a nice system. You can read about it at www.simplepump.com. Now if we lose electricity or our well pump goes out, I can still get water to the house.

We also have a Berkey water system - www.goberkey.com. These are great manual water purifiers. If your water source becomes comprimised, a Berkey is still able to provide safe drinking water.

So, when all we had was a well we only had one source of water. When that one thing went down we ended up with none. Now that we have redundancy we are much better prepared.
