Default What sort of pump?

o.uk...
We have a borehole in our garden that happily belches water 365 days of
the year (or at least it has for the 18 months we've lived here) fast
enough to fill a bucket and feed a tap in the workshop which is at the
lowest point of the garden but not enough to feed the power washer or
sprinkler at the highest part of the garden which is where the house is.

I modified an old shower pump which connected to the tap proved the the
output can be boosted enough to operate a sprinkler at the highest point
of the garden. However it has now died as it doesn't seem to like constant
use for several hours at a time.

What type of pump should I search for as a permanent solution. Ive looked
at well pumps but can only find the submersible type which is not
applicable.
