Not sure on NEW....maybe in an antique store. May have to repack it, but they last forever.

Check farm supply stores, they are still made and used.

We have bought our yellow hand pump (like Shari's) at a ferretaria in Santa Rosalia. Do not get the red ones - they are crapola.
There are a number of places that sell the air-pressure pumps on-line.
Here's one;

Diane,
Is this for 5 gallon bottles or something else ?
The pump you show needs to be hard-piped to the water supply.

Thanks everyone---the one we have pictured is the one from Northern Tool and if we don't find one locally, we will order it---not cheap shipping as it
weighs 19 pounds.
Farm Store---good idea, will check to see if any still exist in San Diego---also, we will need to go to the Imperial Valley soon, and may find one
there.
Diver---no, it is not for a water bottle----we have a stand and water crock for that.
This will probably sound really strange, but it is for our grey water. We had our grey water just going into a hole to collect for car washing, and
hopefully someday for a well composted garden. 
The hole was not working so our contractor is building us a small second septic type thing----cement bottome, blocks not all with mortar so the water
spreads out slowly if we don't use it. ---room for lots of water. It was his idea and we liked it. He suggested an electric pump----don't want
that. It will have a wood top---and we want one of these to which we will add the pipe.
I don't know why I did not think about Farm Supplies----tried about everything else.
Thanks---if it all works like we hope, we will post pics.

Aha ! Fresh veggies !!
Maybe one of these would save a few hours of pumping - and can be set on a timer for when you're gone !

Think we will keep it simple---besides, pumping and carry buckets of water is good exercise, and we both need it. 
Also, would not do us much good to set it while we are gone---no grey water.

It's my understanding that you shouldn't store grey water. It should be used as made.

"It's my understanding that you shouldn't store grey water.

AND...that "grey water" CANNOT come from a shower!!!
...people have a "leakage" problem in the "warm" shower!!!

Not hard to control if it's your own shower.

Great idea---love to visit Santa Rosalia again---also, may look at a few places on our way down. Can't find a farm store here in San Diego---yet
Oh, as far as storing grey water, it won't really be stored. What we don't use will leech out.
Thanks

Look for an irrigation supply store or a plumbing supplier might have one.
I think the place in Santa Rosalia is where we got our Pumpa.
As you walk into town, it is on the right (same sde as the old bakery) and within a block or tow of the bakery. It has a big glass storefront.
Please hit the bakery "hard" for me !

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
Saw them on the net and hope there are in the store. The best thing is that there is a store in Chula Vista---not far from us.
We tried checking everything we could think about in this area, but found nothing!
Off to Harbor Freight tomorrow.
