Linking water to shepherds hut

[Frazzle]

Hi, I’m currently building a shepherds hut. I’m trying to link it up to my parents house for water and electricity. The problem I have is that my parents use a borehole system to feed there house. My proposed site for the hut is about 50-60m away from the house, and probably a 6m drop from the tank in the attic to my hut. What would be the best system to use to get water to it with a good amount of flow. I understand a pump would be a must because there is a shower, basin and kitchen sink. If anyone could help me with advice or anything that would be great. Thanks

No pump and booster unit on the borehole?

All the boreholes I've seen have provided decent water pressure.

Just t in between the existing pump and the house, 1/2 inch will do or the equivalent in Blue. I would be more concerned about what your going to do with the waste water because people will wee in the shower etc. centralheatking

It’s not the problem getting the water there as such. It’s more what I’ll do with the water once it gets there. From a bit of research I have done, It looks like a salamander pump Is needed that feeds an electric shower? Then have a under counter water heater for 2 sinks?
waste drainage won’t be a problem, it’s in a large sloped field.

It’s got to travel so far. My dad doesn’t think it’ll have a decent pressure by the time it gets there. It has got a pump but only enough to get it to the house apparently. I think getting it to the hut is easy. It’s what would be a good system of feeding shower and 2 sinks. Someone I work with said put a Cold feed to a pump. Have an electric shower and an under counter water heater for the sinks. Is that a system you would recommend?

what are you going to do about the waste water, remember once you establish water and power supply then you will come under planning and building regulations regarding dwelling houses and then if its for holiday let or etc in there is a whole raft of paperwork to go through. I know I have holiday lets.
but depending on the area and location they can rent out at £550 + per week as an average over the Easter to October season...my mate has some yurts etc ..the glamping bubble I suppose.

Yeah I’m planning on putting a septic tank in. I don’t think it’s quite the same as a dwelling is it? It’s still a movable structure, just have a source of power and water to it. I am all though going down the planning route. There’s been a few glamping sites near me that haven’t struggled and there for holiday lets. Mine will just be an addition to our family house.
