We need quite a lot of water for our garden. There are a few minor things bothering me about the current situation (use of drinking water for the garden, wastewater fees, also the use of outdoor taps in front of which the descaling system is installed - a mix of poorly thought-out planning and negligent behavior). So, a well is to be installed.
With a height difference from well depth (approx. -30m) to upper garden (+20m), the pump has to be quite a monster. Therefore, my idea is whether I could fill a 5m3 water trough from the well and then use another pump from this trough, which also collects rainwater from the carport, to provide garden irrigation. Conveniently, I could control the well pump for filling the cistern via the photovoltaic system and float contact so that it only operates with self-generated electricity.
The water trough and additional pump are already planned.
Who has experience?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of my considerations?
Are the cost assumptions realistic?
Check where water is and set location – feasibility: 150€
Drill hole including piping: 80€/m at 30m = approx. 2400€
Well pump with hose and tap: 1000€ including installation
5,000l water trough: 2000€ including delivery
Pump in water trough with tap: 700€
All-around work done independently, materials (pipes, hoses) and beautifying: 350€
Total approx. 6600€ (I realize that this is not quickly economical with savings of about 400-500€ p.a. on water and wastewater)
Thanks in advance for ideas, criticism, or encouragement.
