What sort of pump do I need?

Recommended Posts

The previous owner of our house in Manche has installed a system whereby ground water can be pumped up to serve a small garden pond and also supply a buried network of pipes leading to  sprinklers in the paddock behind the house. Unfortunately he took the pump with him when he moved and I neglected to ask what type it was.  We've plumbed the depth and there's three metres from ground level to the surface of the water; there's about five meters depth of water.  The pipe diameter is about 4 cm.

Can anyone advise what size of pump we'd need, please, and where we might find it in France?

I have a similar situation but fortunately I bought the pump from the seller !

Unfortunately I'm in UK at present so can't tell you anything about my pump except that it's quite small yet powerful enough to lift around an 8m head of water through 30m of 3 or 4cm hose and still with enough pressure to run my pressure washer, €65 well spent !

In the mean time you might find this site useful  http://www.pumpexpress.co.uk  if you tell them your requirements they will advise.

Mine is something along these lines  http://www.pumpexpress.co.uk/ped_jsw2_desc.htm

One word of caution, stay clear of the cheaper submersibles which often fail miserably to deliver, e.g. http://tinyurl.com/3dyj7v
