How much water 'litres per minute' is required?
We can't size the pump without knowing this.
there is not a specific ltr/min required as i said it is supplying a second holding tank. I would imagine 5-10 litres a minute would be more than enough.

I've been asking that since post #6. At first the lift was given as 229m, now it's 60m, so my indication of flow rate per watt were out by nearly a factor of 4. But on the plus side, with mains now available, 60m is within the capabilities of the 'very high head' class of multistage centrifugal potable water pumps. The 12V option is more practical too, with a little less than 1 litre per minute delivered per amp of motor current when using a gearmotor to drive a piston pump.
thanks @Lucien Nunes. Yes the head is around 60m. The 12v is no longer in the picture as there is now mains voltage available. Do you have a link to a good pump which could achieve this? What wattage pump would achieve this.
