My system is like Dan's. It is a regular well pump in the water, so we never hear it start/stop/run. 10-11 ' deep at this time of year and the pump has a stanchion to keep it upright and off the bottom about 18". Never comes out of the lake. I do run the intake pipe and wiring through a 4" x 10' piece of PVC close to shore so ice and or water movement don't wear holes in the pipe where it rubs against the rocks at water's edge. We used to replace on shore jet pumps every few years. Using a well pump, we have replaced once, I think, in 20 years. Some people have concerns about running electricity out into the water, so the first installation, you might want a professional installation job.
