I'm going to start shutting off the circuit breaker when I leave. I just had the pump replaced this past spring!

What other automatic water use devices might need attention? Ice maker? Cat toilet? We use a well pump in the lake, so no problem, but what about a well pump in a dry well? Is there a float switch as on a sump pump or a macerator septic pump?

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.

No soap of any kind should go in the lake.
