Borehole Setup

[Tabac]

Thought i'll create the thread.

Boreholes.
What's your setup ? How do you control the level sin your tank ?
1 or two tanks ? 1 - supply house, 1 - garden irrigation ? All with one pressure pump or a separate one for irrigation ?

just before others jump in remember more zones mean less pressure needed dont put all irrigation on one zone for example

Yip. Have separate zones. I connected the irrigation on my .75KW pressure pump to see how it works (Normally i water from municipal side). Nah - that .75 pump is a little weak.

Borehole is shared between several properties and situated where the security guards are most frequently situated.
Each property has it's own tank.
Pressure pump for us for house and garden.
extra tap in garden without pressure pump, do not use it.

Not exactly a borehole but a 4m deep well.

Submersible pump in the well controlled with a float switch in a water tank.

Jet pump with pressure switch feeding the house from the water tank.

Been running like this since 2018 and only had one pump replaced.

I think the het pump is a 1.1kw pump.

Got a well-point. It's +-10m down. The pump, automatic pressure switch, and 24l pressure tank is in a bunker. For security reasons, I had to put it in a bunker.

The water is used in the toilets, aquaponics/fish tanks and the garden.

The water quality is good but it got a high iron content.
