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.

I'd go for a central heating pump.Â* They're pretty cheap, and you could
try a used one from eBay.

I had discounted those thinking being designed to circulate they wouldnt
produce enough pressure for sprinklers.
