I've heard there is a special soap that is OK for lake bathing. Anybody know?
I would think any pump with a float switch would be ok, no water to raise the float and turn it on.
And a pump in the lake should be fine as long as it's out far enough to still be submerged.
Submersible electric pumps need water around them to keep them from overheating but if the pump is not running then there's no problem.
