Hello everyone,
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.

At least not with 400 sq meters (4310 sq feet) of greenery. Of course, you can still install an irrigation system if you want.
For example, we used about 10 cubic meters (353 cubic feet) this summer. Let's say 20 cubic meters (706 cubic feet) if we start watering extensively and growing vegetables. We pay around 1 € per cubic meter (35 cubic feet) of fresh water here (no sewage costs because of the garden water meter) – so it would take about 50 years for a well to pay off.

How long do you think your pump will last?
Chriscross11 Sep 2016 18:49Okay, so would a garden water meter be the better option? It probably needs to be requested from the local authority or is that handled by the utility provider?

There is usually a local ordinance covering this. You might even find your municipality’s ordinance online.
In our case, the plumber kindly took care of that for us—we didn’t even know we had something like that (we probably mentioned it in a conversation once).
If you want, you can of course also drill a well—you wouldn’t be alone in doing so—but purely from a financial perspective, it rarely pays off.
