we had a 21m (69 feet) deep garden water well, operated with a suction pump. Unfortunately, the water column would often drop significantly, so it took a very long time for water to come through.
During the demolition of our old house and the construction of the new one, the well had to be removed. Now we want to build a new one, this time with a submersible pump. I have received quotes ranging from €3500 to €4500. Most providers charge about €1500 just for the pump, but I found one who would drill the well quite cheaply and install an existing pump for a flat fee.
I have been looking into submersible pumps; prices start at €149 and go up to €1000. Unfortunately, I have no experience with 3-inch pumps. Can anyone recommend something? Or is it generally safe to say that a pump costing around €400 to €500 is acceptable?

The pumps from Tipp work well and are affordable. If one breaks, just replace it.
If you want something higher quality, you can look at Wilo. That will cost you in the four-digit range.
If the budget is tight, I would go with Tipp.

A suction pump is probably not suitable for a height difference of 21 meters (69 feet). It is also likely to be quite underpowered.
For example, automatic irrigation requires sufficient pressure and flow.

Gartenfreund3 Feb 2021 07:37I can’t tell you which pump is good and affordable nowadays. About 40 years ago, my parents had a well drilled, and the company installed a Grundfos pump.
I can’t specify the exact model, only that it is a 380 V, or today a 400 V, pump.
A thick black plastic pipe is connected to it. I estimate the inner diameter of the pipe to be about 2 inches.
This is connected to a 150-liter (40-gallon) pressure tank.
If you have a drilled well made, I would recommend not choosing a well casing with an inner diameter just large enough to fit the pump, but definitely going larger.
