Each year one of my accomplishments stands out. Specifically getting the water in at camp.
Some may say big deal, what is so difficult?
Crawling on my belly under two sections of camp to reconnect water lines is easier for the young. Also wrestling an expansion tank (light) and a siphon pump (heavy) is required.
Priming the seventy foot intake line and anchoring the intake valve in chest deep water are added tasks. Finally plugging in the pump and opening and closing hot or cold faucets to allow the system to pressurize is the last tension filled check list item.
For me all the above is high drama and high reward. What can go wrong? Cracked plastic lines, failed pressure shut off solenoid, or a two year old leak where head space is less than two feet are examples.
