Well for garden irrigation

The tip pump I mentioned also works in wells and has sufficient delivery height. It is really TOP in terms of price/performance. We just installed another one at an acquaintance's place. Only if it is very sandy do you need pumps that can handle more and larger particles. You can supply irrigation from a well (if enough water is available). I myself use Wilo pumps. I also have other sizes and the budget was not exactly tight.

We also have a well. However, it is only pumped into the cistern occasionally. It has been certified for 130 years. Using it was initially prohibited for us (with a permanently installed pump). After extensive preparation, phone calls, etc., we now have written permission that we may use it. We will not need it that quickly either. The cistern is full to the brim with 76,000 liters.

I am now studying the topic of drilling wells myself... At the same time, I will bother the neighbors in the new development area and do tests with them to see what can be extracted from a drilled well here on site. Because I don't really feel like drilling myself :) Spending a few weeks digging like a mole. Drilling a well by someone else sounds more tempting :) But if there's too little to get out of it, I might not avoid drilling... : what amount per hour should the well provide to plan irrigation for 450² properly? If the amount is too low, then increase the number of circles? Exaggerated: only 2 sprinklers per circle and then run them one after the other? Thanks to everyone and best regards

It would of course be great if the flow rate exceeds the max capacity of the pump. Circuits that are too large are not always good either (shadow areas, etc.). If there is too little flow, simply reduce the size of the circuits. Anything from 2000-3000 liters/hour is already pleasant. I run at 20,000 liters in the distribution circuit :p

20,000 l/h Wooooow.... that would be enough for an entire street here :eek:.

This allows us to operate several circles simultaneously. The largest circle draws about 6,000 liters. Programming will be one of my spring projects.

My suggestion is to take a drilled well (we also have one) and not a dug one.

If you look at the posts in various forums on the topic of wells and problems, there are seemingly thousands of posts where people have problems with suction pumps or domestic waterworks. You repeatedly read that somewhere something is leaking and therefore no water is being delivered or you constantly have to refill water on the suction side so that anything is even sucked in. With pressure pumps, on the other hand, there are only very few who open a post because of problems.

Of course, a drilled well costs more than a dug one, but apparently this higher investment pays off in the end through less trouble and lower repair costs.

One more thing. If you take a drilled well, make sure that the inner diameter of the well pipe is not so small that the pump barely fits in diameter. But at least one size bigger.
