Grundfos pumps
Lowara pumps
Jung Pumpen
Dab pumps

Probably in that order.

I tbought uv was yesterdays news due to muck build up changing frequency of light and therefore less efficient.

Reading through the post again wont a well booster pump from Grundfos or Lowara be better then just go from well to loft. Not being a plumber I`ve probaly missed something though so please no shouting at me.

 

[stani]

Don't you need, filters, accumulators and uv for well water? Then the accumulator gives the necessary head?

 

[rpm]

Would of thought a good 12 or 15 stage booster pump will do the required head but need to talk to the tech people regarding the flow rate and pressure at the outlet of course and the other stuff like filters.

 

[drainrod]

debris filter then uv, also ph if required

Get your kids buckets then! When i was young we had to walk 1 mile to get water to heat up to wash the dishes so we could then start to think about breakfast?

 

[Frelon]

What is the distance from the top of the well to the top of the water?

Need that information before you get your answer!

Would also be good to know the distance from water level to bottom of well

You were lucky! We lived under a tarpaulin in a hole in t'middle 'o t'road, got up half an hour before we went to bed, sucked the moisture from a dead rat for breakfast and went to work down t'mine for 26 hours a day for sixpence a fortnight.

You had a dead rat! Now you were posh ! We had some sheep poo entangled straggles off the barbs . And that was a joint prezzie for all. 19 of us. Who lived in the mine but worked in the sewers.
