  • Methods for testing water
  • Making water safe to drink
  • Choosing the right pump
  • Dealing with environmental issues and legal concerns
  • Planning a system's connections
  • Types of wells and how to dig a new one or revitalize an old one
  • Understanding and installing waste systems
  • Troubleshooting septic systems
  • How to reduce a septic system's footprint
  • The pros and cons of alternative toilets
  • How to build an outhouse
  • Getting rid of gray water
  • How to keep pipes from freezing in winter
  • How to winterize a seasonal water system for easy spring start-up

    From getting water in to getting waste out, Country and Cottage Water Systems helps ensure clean, safe water for country and cottage dwellers, as well as hassle-free and environmentally responsible waste disposal.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Husband loves this book, Jan 7 2011
    This review is from: Country and Cottage Water Systems: A Complete Out-of-the-City Guide to On-Site Water and Sewage Systems, Including Pumps, Plumbing, Water Purification and Alternative Toilets (Spiral-bound)
    We are putting in a septic system this spring and ever since I gave my husband this book he hadn't put it down. It's very informative and is sure to help us in the initial stages on planning and construction and long down the road. Highly recommended.

    This book is written in an enjoyable style, with clear details about the systems presented. Very well illustrated as well. If you plan to install (yourself or by using a contractor)any type of water system for your dwelling, the book is useful.
