Default What sort of pump?

used one in a similar situation and it failed (as in tripped the RCD)

I would suggest they were poor quality or faulty from the start. I have
installed many such pumps - they run happily and been submerged for
decades.

I agree. At my last house I installed a submersible in a well. It worked
perfectly of the 12 years before we moved.
