Pumping water from the lake?
 

I'm looking for a plumber(?) recommendation to help me with a lake water pump and filter system to extend my seasonal camp as the town water shuts off in October. Can anyone recommend a good reputable resource for me in Alton Bay?

Thanks!

Lake water pumps
 

I recently had my lake water pumping system repaired by Lacey Irrigation. I believe they install pumps. I was very happy wth their work and fair price. They have a website tel. 603 476 2664.

Pyrotenax heated water lines: do a google search.

Gilford Well has these. They come in a big box that includes a 1 1/4" diameter black hi-pressure cpvc pipe x 100', 125', 150' or some length, a 220-v wire heat cable that goes inside the black pipe line, a temp sensor, and a thermostat control box. Price: about $1000 for the item to be installed.

The ditch dug into the ground needed is surprising shallow, and narrow. For a 1 1/4" diameter tube, they recommend digging a ditch, or more accurately a groove, that is just a few inches or six inches deep, below the surface, and just a few inches wide.

Where the line crosses the rocky embankment to get into the lake, threading the 1 1/4" poly tube down within a larger pvc pipe, say a two inch pvc pipe, under the rocks, protects it from wind chill, wave action, and the rocks. 125' runs on 888-watts, 220-v, and the thermostat control box has a temperature control knob so it turns on the heat at 33 or 34 or 35-degrees with a small red indicator light. It's a permanent installation that should last for years and years. I installed mine in November, 1992, and it still works very well, as of last winter ..... knock on wood!

The shallow well pump and water storage tank has to be stationed within a heated space, like a heated kitchen, or a heated basement.
