Lake Water System

[LIforrelaxin]

Thanks for the input here everyone... I never gave much throught to putting a submersiable pump out in the lake. But it seems to be quite common...

The biggest part of this effort is to get ideas in my head, and you are all helping with that... I would love to drill a well, but I just don't think it is in the budget right now... Thats why I have been thinking of going back to the lake again. However the memories of fighting with the jet pump again, where keeping me from liking that Idea. However If I could put a submersible pump in safely that would be a good comprimise.

Codeman installed your system for you?

I have a submersible and love it! Nothing to prime and no noise! It's down in about 10' of water on a stand. Water from the lake goes through two sediment filters, a 5 and 50 micron. It then goes through a UV sanitizer and finally a carbon filter for taste. No issues with it yet in four years and the water tastes great. Steve from Island Support and R&D plumbing handled the install.

Steve from ISS and RD Plumbing and Heating took care of ours when the house was built. No issues at all since originally installed 7 years ago. We added a cartridge filter and a Trojan UV a few years later when we decided we wanted to use it for more than showers. The water quality is better than my well in Dover.
