I tried to make the title as easy to find as possible since I couldn’t find any information during my search.
We want to have a well for the outdoor area and its irrigation system.
I only have a basic understanding of this and am looking for your advice.
Which systems make sense, and what should such a system cost?
I contacted the company "Brunnen-König" here in the Hannover area. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make much sense of their system (submersible pump).
Is there anything that can go wrong with this method, or is it a good approach? What should something like this cost?
Based on the size of our property and the fact that we want an irrigation system, we chose the Package-L, which also includes the pump.
Groundwater can be found here at a depth of about 4 meters (13 feet).
Thanks in advance.

Chriscross11 Sep 2016 18:15I’m missing a bit more context here! An irrigation system is probably not a standard feature, right?
Chriscross11 Sep 2016 18:25Oh yes, I meant to mention that but it seems to have been overlooked.
The plot size is 835 m² (8987 sq ft).
The planned landscaping will probably cover about 400 m² (4306 sq ft).

For €1,071, I could get 823m³ (29,059 ft³) of fresh water here.
Using wastewater for garden irrigation is often not necessary thanks to a second meter, but this varies by region.
How long could you irrigate the garden with that? Probably somewhere between 50 and 100 years.
Therefore: It probably isn’t worth it.
For large properties that require intensive irrigation, the situation might be different. Or if other costs would be avoided – consumption costs alone don’t provide any return on investment.
This puts the well in the same category as a rainwater cistern or a domestic water system: either already in place or prepared for other reasons, otherwise not financially worthwhile. Water is simply too cheap.
