Hello!
I am purchasing a property that currently has no running water, but is only about 25' from a large pond so I wanted to design a system to use the pond water for household needs (on a very tight budget). See above for what I have come up with so far (hopefully small type is legible!)
Questions:
1) Anything glaringly wrong here? I researched all the products and they are well reviewed though not necessarily for exactly what I am doing.
2) Will a Wayne 25' foot shallow well pump located in the house be able to pump water 8' vertically and 30' horizontally from the pond? Would like to keep all components inside the house for warmer components and easier maintenance.
3) Will the pipe running from the pump to the pond freeze if not buried below frost line? i.e. will there be standing water in this pipe? or always in motion?
4) Filters: Should there be another filter besides the intake screen before the pump or will this interfere with pump getting enough water? Are 50/25/5 microns good numbers for the 3 Dupont inline filters? Will having three filters here greatly decrease water pressure?
5) Anything better than this system in a similar price range?
Thanks!
