I built my house a few years back and we dug a well. The well water is terrible. It has very high iron content. I have dumped about $5,000 into a few whole house filters and none of them work for any period of time.
So, I decided to use the very nice creek that runs through my farm. This water is clean ( had it tested) and it used to fill the dam the small town below my farm used for domestic water for years.
I plan on keeping this fairly simple. I am going to simply dug a deep hole right in the creek and weigh down a 55 gallon plastic drum and put a pump in this drum. Then, just dig the line to my house and tie it into my filtering system i already have. I am wondering exactly what pump you guys would suggest? the creek is about 50-60ft. lower then my house and it is about 300 ft away from the house.
BTW, I am going to put a UV light on this water right before my filters just to be safe.
