Drains:

Important Note: All Drains must be closed to pressurize the system!

There are seven (7) Lake Water Irrigation System Drains used for winterizing (Draining) the system.  See “The Lake Water Winterization Procedure”. 

Important Note: the first two Drains on this list are internal drains and must be closed if the pump is energized to pressurize the system or internal flooding in the home will occur.

1.     Large Drains in the “Pit” at the entrance to The Work / Storage Bay

2.     The Pressure Tank Drain at the back of The Work / Storage Bay

3.     The small Waterfront Drain just below the Hydrant and Electric Post at the Dock Access.

4.     The Large Waterfront Drain is located just above the Waterfront Rock Wall between the Dock Access and the Boat Launch.

5.     The Drain in the “Pit” below the Hydrant and Electric Post at the side of the driveway forward of the entryway to the home.

6.     The Drain at the Northeast side of the lot at the edge of the wet land.

7.     The Drain at the Northeast corner of the lot just behind the Access to “Little Hook” (this drain is at the bottom of an access pipe and needs to be operated with The Extended Valve Key kept at that location.

Operation:

To pressurize the Lake Water Pump System, locate the Lake Water Pump Switch to the right of Electric Subpanel One (1) in the garage and set the switch to the on position. The system will come up to sixty (60) pounds of pressure within a minute putting available Lake Water at each of the Irrigators, Sprinklers, or hose connectors, (Hydrants). Access water usage at each component by opening its valve to release the water.

The pump is capable of supplying water at sufficient pressure and volume to actuate four (4) sprinklers simultaneously.

Lake Water Pump System Components Index

Lake Water Irrigation System Individual Components

Lake Water Pump

The Lake Water Pump is a one-half Horsepower (1/2 HP), two hundred twenty-volt (220 V), submersible well pump.   The Lake Water Pump is energized by the #10 and #12 two hundred twenty-volt (220 V) Circuit Breaker on Subpanel One in the Garage with its Control Switch mounted just right of The Pannel.

 

The 220 V power cable passes from Subpanel One in the garage to the space above the closets on the South Foundation Wall and connects at a junction box on the East wall, back corner of the Work / Storage Bay.

 

Δ

<=

When the system is pressurized by activating The Lake Water Pump Switch to the right of Sub-Panel One, the pump supplies a high volume of lake water at thirty to sixty pounds of pressure (30 – 60 PSI) via “The Lake Water Main Supply Line” located at the East side of the “Dock Access Point” shown below.   The Lake Water Main Supply Line connects to all Hose Hydrants, Sprinklers, Irrigators and “Low Point Drains” via manual valves to control the flow of water to intended components. 

 

Important Note:

·        Large Drains in the “Pit” at the entrance to The Work / Storage Bay

·        The Pressure Tank Drain at the back of The Work / Storage Bay are internal drains and must be closed if the pump is energized to pressurize the system or internal flooding in the home will occur.

 

The two hundred twenty-volt (220 V) “Double” Circuit Breaker #10 and #12 on Subpanel One in the Garage energize The Lake Water Irrigation System Pump Control Switch mounted just right of The Pannel.

 

With all Drains closed this switch pressurizes the system.

Lake Water Expansion Tank and Pressure Switch

 

The Lake Water Pump Pressure Switch controls energy to the pump that pressurizes The Expansion Tank to stabilize the system pressure to all components while the pump is cycled “on and off” by The Pump Pressure Switch to maintain water pressure between thirty and sixty pounds of pressure (30 – 60 PSI).
