1) Put the pump near the lake and run 300' of 3/4 pipe to
the house. This requires 300' of buried UF to the pump, which
cannot be buried in the same trench.

Still the best option.

2) Put the pump near the house and run 300' of 3/4 pipe to the
lake with a foot/check valve at the lake end.

Foot valves stick open, get clogged. Pumps to not pull very well if they
lose their prime. IMO, in the long run you will n ot be happy with this
setup.



I think that with only a 10' head and
a check valve, it should maintain a prime....

Looks good on paper, but get one tiny pebble in the foot valve and this
theory no longer works. I know, you'll have a strainer. Eventually things
get by it, seals wear.
