borehole pump

RE: borehole pump
Jo, I'm with Devonian on this.

To lift water from that depth of bore hole requires a pretty robust pump, drawing a good deal of power.

We have a 10m deep well and use a 750w mains powered pump for it. That would take a good deal of solar power generation and storage to run.

The hand pump that Dev linked is the better way to go, especially so with the additional adult contingent that may descend upon you. That sort of pump can lift water from 30m ( check spec of specific pumps) but drawing from that depth is pretty hard work. In itself the hard work is useful in making everyone aware of the precious nature of the water they consume.
