Ever been to Maine?
We periodically run a generator to pump water to a holding tank.
I'm looking to buy or build on a local lake where people pump water from. Problem is it's usually dry these days and it's about 65K to drill a well 800ft down into the aquifer.
Just build a well close to shore, and below the water level it will fill up.

No it won't. It's a reservoir. An empty one.

I'd probably go with RO/DI then run it back through some minerals to give it some taste. That goes for the well water too. 30 years ago I'd drink that aquifer water straight out of the ground when it flowed out then back in at certain secret spots we knew about. Limestone filters nicely. Those days are over...
You might think living near water is a good thing, only if you can enjoy it. You can't. Go to Wisconsin or Canada for that.
I appreciate farmers, but whatever they're putting into the soil is running off into lakes here. There's no where else for it to go.
You don't want to be near a reservoir. You can't even swim in it.
I look at homes at Tahoe, and people can't even enter the water there.
Seems like a farmer could irrigate with that lake water and save on fertilizer.
This should reduce hardness but keep minerals.

Just lost my best friend of 15 years. Kidney failure. She was a good dog.

Just how stressful is that? Expensive? Need to hire people?
Boat looks great btw!
On the hard.
