This morning I took out the water (system). This is a twenty step process including draining a water heater and removing the inlet valve and plastic pipe from the brook. Lake water temperature was cool. I waded in to my knees and quickly pulled the support and the anchor to the dock.
The expansion tank is now in the garage one hundred miles away. Next May I reconnect everything and pray for only small leaks.
All summer the pump, expansion tank and plumbing under the camp give us lake water. Two years ago in October we lugged about ten buckets of water each day to flush and to replace the washing water typically from the faucet. The system can freeze in early October so all components need to be drained.
News - words - thoughts.
