How do i start up a water pump at my camp?

Question:I want to know how to start up a water pump so i can move up to my camp.

Answers:
There's a few different kinds of water pumps. If you're referring to a hand-pumped well water pump that doesn't work, then it's generally "lost it's prime". Some well pumps are constructed so you pour a quart or so of water into the pump and stroke the handle up and down until the water rises in the well.
Other kinds of well pumps you have to take the hand pump off and pour a bucket of water into the well hole.
It just depends on what kind of water pump you have.
