Homeowner needs an affordable, automated way to pump water from a hand-dug well to a garden without running water lines from the house.
Existing solutions require running electric to the well house and involve complex setups; no simple, integrated, off-the-shelf system designed specifically for low-depth, low-head garden irrigation from a stone well.

App Concept
GardenWell AutoPump
An all-in-one submersible pump and pressure tank unit designed for shallow hand-dug wells (3-8 ft). It includes a solar-ready controller, drip irrigation timer, and hose outlet — all pre-assembled, weatherproof, and requiring only a garden hose connection. No plumbing or electrical expertise needed.
Key Features
- Compact submersible pump (fits 8-inch diameter wells)
- Integrated 2-gallon pressure tank with demand switch
- Solar panel input for off-grid operation
- Programmable drip irrigation timer with rain delay
- Dual output: garden hose spigot and 1/2-inch drip line connector
Target Users: Homeowners with shallow hand-dug wells who want to irrigate gardens without trenching or complex plumbing.
Revenue Model: $299 one-time purchase (pump + tank + controller), $49 for optional solar panel kit
