Just to add our set up as an option. We have a borehole 75meter deep, it was drilled over 20 years ago. No one has seen the pump since. It used to feed a pair of loft tanks which fed two bathrooms and a kitchen via a noisy Stuart turner booster pump. This past year I swapped the loft tanks for a 2000 litre water tank in the garden. We now have an Ezidiver submersible pump in the garden tank. That is supplying the whole house with very good pressure for two showers and two bathtub. There's a treatment unit between the tank and the house. We're lucky to only need a spun cotton filter and a UV tube. Benefits: the submersible pump is totally silent. We have a good store of water for the day the well pump breaks that is easily filled temporarily by tanker or rain water.
