Hello,
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?

@Stadtvilla19 The pump you found also has good performance data. However, its power consumption is almost twice as much (2.2 kW).
If you want to automate irrigation, this becomes noticeable since the pump runs for several hours per week.
Mercedes is more like Wilo 😉No, the pump itself has a power consumption of 0.75 kW, the 2.2 kW refers to the control box, which can handle pumps up to 2.2 kW.

I did not mean to suggest that a 400-volt pump should be used, only that one like this was installed here. I am not aware if such pumps were available in 220 volts at that time.
Furthermore, I wanted to point out that a pump can last a very long time without needing frequent maintenance.
