For my garden this summer is killing everything.
Anyway there is a water next to the garden but it's 10m underground.
1.Will this pump work
2.will it last
For my garden this summer is killing everything.

I'd suggest getting one with a suction hose and a pressure tank if possible. 10m is pushing it for suction hoses if it really is exactly 10m, but it should still work with some of them.
>will it last
Nothing will last save for many thousand dollar industrial devices.
So how long will it last if I pull 200 or 300 kg of water daily
Couple years, maybe 5-10, 15 if you're lucky.
That's not so bad.
I'd be happy with 5 and ok with 2.
Suction probably won't work. 10m is bumping against the limit of a perfect vacuum, which these cheapo pumps aren't even going to be able to come close to making. 25ft is the functional max of good $1k pumps.
It's pushing up a garden hose in YouTube videos not some big pipe.
It's rated for 30m.
Anyway I don't think I'm willing to do 1k to eat bigger vegetables
Right, that is pushing, I'm talking about suction. The cheap pumps that are pushing water will definitely work, especially if they are rated for 30m head. Cheap pumps that suck water up from the top like anon suggested definitely won't work.
That's the first one in the photo same as in the video
Both in the picture are submersible
Yes, submersible will work, because they are pushing water UP. Pumps that raise waiter using suction will not work at that depth. Go with the ones that you have pictured, they will work.
The biggest killer of pumps is cycling on and off constantly, so maybe hook it up to a raised tub or something to act as a reservoir. It's OK for it to run continuously but if it's turning off and on and off and on it will burn the pump up. Make sure run times are long and few and you'll maximize its life.
Thanks .
It's for watering the garden and the well is literally a plastic pipe deep 15 or so meters but it caps at 13 because the last to is sediment or something to act as a filter.
Mi plan would be submerge it to about 10m because the level is probably 6or 7.
Run it half an h to 1h in the morning and same in the evening.
Twice a day for half-hour to hour is totally fine. As long as it doesn't over-pump the well and run dry or draw up sand and get sand-locked, should last as long as it can. Last bit of advice is that open discharge can be a rough on some pumps, so try to make sure there is always a little back pressure. Other than that, you should be golden.
Cool there is some fine sand when you go deep but in the middle not so much it has a filter but it definitely would not stop what I have it's really more like dust than particles of rock.
I never go half way when I water by hand that would be about 150l and I do about 60.
It's a small garden
Sounds like you're all set. Best of luck anon, I wish you a successful garden.
Thanks
