Pump for well

Have you explored it properly? If you’re really lucky:

You need a self priming centrifugal pump such as the link below.

They also do glass covers.

Yes it will work provided you use the right type of pump. It will need to be a positive displacement pump in order to create enough vacuum to suck water up the pipe from the well. The maximum height that a suction pump can lift is in theory 10 metres ( atmospheric pressure on the water in the well and a total vacuum in the pipe) but in practise the maximum height is less as a total vacuum on a dry pump is very difficult to achieve.

A foot valve ( one way valve ) at the bottom of the pipe enables the pump to be primed with water ( from a bucket ) before starting so the pump does not run dry.

You forgot to mention the need for a PRV.

The OEDP pressure relief system does not require a PRV.

With the OP using it as he described then it isn`t OEDP.

the water to use to irrigate the garden.

Irrigation can be performed by an open ended flexible hose pipe without a spray head.

the hose slips off the connector.

But yes to make the perfect belt and braces and string support then a pressure sensor to cut the power to the pump would be a sensible addition.

I think in this thread we should let Just Pumps have the last word, going by his user name he would have the best opinion.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Andy but even an old timer like me doesn`t know it all.
PS. More to me than pumps alone
