I have put in an 8 million gal lake with one small sulfur burner and it is great, My water is from a treatment plant and comes in at pH 8.7+ and we pump out at 6.5-6.7 pH. Use about average 25 bags a month (50lbs) of 99.9 Sulfur. 99.5% works also. This was a big twin lake system and we had it built but in house I have done 4 small lakes in house with liner and it was not hard at all. (doing one this week) 3000 cubic meters 790,000 gal. Liner was about $8,000 and took my staff 6 people about 10 min to float in. Then about a week to do edges and sod work. This was an old like so I just cleaned it maybe 40 truck loads out and cleaned the sides up. Built a new overflow and it looks good.
Last year we dug out a lake maybe 3500 cu meters, took us about two weeks to dig and haul with a 3 yard dump truck and a small back hoe. Install air lines under the lake to remove any future ground air. And in two months we had a great lake. Labor was two men 2 months and 5 men for 3 days. So about 65 days of labor. These lakes are filled with irrigation water now that I have plenty. In the summer this last year. I have 10 small lakes (average 3000 cu meters) that to keep topped up even in the dries times take about 30,000 gal a day. (rain will keep them full to over flow 300+ days a year. My irrigation needs are at most 375,000 gal in a day super hot dry time and average 100,000gal maybe 5 days a week for about 5 months a year. With rain my main lakes got down to 5 million gal. was all.
