A few informations
It is possible to pump water from a lake, but you need an approval from the municipality and also special measures have to be taken to avoid disturbing the watercourse. Since the arrival of the blue-green algae, a lot of people hesitate over whether or not to use this practice and with reason. That is why we have to take a lot of factors in consideration like; the general quality of the lake water (if a water treatment will be needed), the use of water, and also compare the price with a new well in your area. We offer everything you need: well, pump, water treatment system... We even offer safe and effective treatment against those hard to get rid of cyanobacteria.
Back to the pump
The easiest solution would be to use a turbine pump, but there are important disadvantages to do so like your water not being as nice, therefore causing problems to your pump, even more, it is not very efficient and very unstable. This is the main reason why we favor the submersible pump. Durable and versatile, this type of pump can be used in almost any situations, but some measures have to be taking to maximize its lifetime.
Our years of experience allowed us to elaborate special installation techniques. The depth of the installation, the distance from the shore, the submersion of the carlon tubing, the pump location in the bottom of the water, the adequate filtration before the pump, the wire protection, the short-circuits protection and a maximum cooling of the motor make our submersible pumps the best system to use for pumping water from lakes.
