a couple of years ago I installed a boiler valve on a "T" where my intake pipe comes out of the lake. With the purchase of a $6.99 "drill pump" on my cordless drill and a couple of short lengths of garden hose it takes about 5 minutes to pump enought water up into the system (and the pump infrastructure) to prime the pump. Water is easier to "push" up into the system then "pull" up, which is why the cheapo drill pump works...

MELT MELT MELT!!!
