As this isn't really my wheelhouse. I mean the mechanics of it I can figure out once I get pointed in the right direction. But when you say hand pump is that something I can pick up at tractor supply or even Amazon.
I assume I could set it up inside the house, were the plumbing comes to the current pump.
As I said in the other post, nothing I would have ever thought I'd need to figure out but given the state of things it's better safe than sorry.
