If so, what system would you recommend.
We have had a UV system like this

that was installed about 15 years ago, never a problem. We have the water tested every year mid summer and never had a single bacteria count.

The lake water is 1st treated with two filters: sediment and then the carbon type for taste and odor. Then the flow is through the UV system and into the cottage. We use the lake water for coffee, cooking, washing and so on. We do bring small amounts of well water from home to keep in the fridge for drinking but I often drink the tap water at camp.
