It's pretty much the same as putting in a sprinkler system on a city water line, except you'll use a continuous duty irrigation pump--available at Home Depot or Lowes. I used a 1 1/2 HP pump from HD, but I've go a high elevation lift to contend with. A standard timer (Rain Bird, etc) will work with multi-zones if needed. You'll need a solenoid switch to turn on the pump with the timer. I dropped the water feed line from my dock, about 3 feet off the bottom-you'll need a strainer/one-way valve at the end of the pickup line. Pump instructions will tell you what size pipe to use for pickup. Don't reduce your line below one inch with a continuous duty pump or you'll stand a chance of burning up the pump.

I'm sure many on the forum have experience putting in irrigation systems.
