Anyone had experience with the 3” submersible pumps, I have a 38 Mt well, 19km from Prasat down 24 towards Prakhon chai, have had a Hitachi top pressure pump pushing down and sucking up a 3” bore hole for about 10 years now, but it's time to change, because every time I go back to the UK, the pump stops working, so plants don't get watered and die and I have to re-prime the bloody thing every time I come back or replace the pressure switch 4 x now bloody ants(so much for the irrigation)
Also we have almost had our new house built, which is about 25Mts away from the Well.
I've been told that a submersible pump would be much better, drop it down my existing bore hole, sorry undo the old pump and pull out the 2 x 11/4” pipes that go down what seems to be a 3” Blue plastic pipe.
I have had a 2000litre tank fitted on a platform about 2.5Mts high next to the bore hole, so that I can fill the tank from the well, then pipe the tank via a couple of 8 x 48” filter units to the house, fitting a electric circulating pump complete with pressure switch, either next to the filters to push the water or next to the house to pull the water, which ever is easiest or best, any ideas would be gratefully accepted
cheers
