    Pressure gauge has gone back down to 0 since things have thawed out. Any help/direction of a new pump to by would be greatly appreciated.

    Above Ground Well Pump Cracked in the Cold

    As it stands now this pump is toast correct? I'm not trying to sound cheap or anything, but was wondering if that crack could be welded back up. I will probably be buying a new one/replacement - but I guess I'm just wondering if this thing is a paper weight now (an ancient paper weight).

    Above Ground Well Pump Cracked in the Cold

    Yeah, i didn't notice that crack until I saw a puddle of water under the pump yesterday. Really sucks because the thing was working fine all summer long.

    HELP! Burst Pipe between my Well Pump and Pressure tank. What do i do?

    HELP! Burst Pipe between my Well Pump and Pressure tank. What do i do?

    Holy crap you're right (smacks forehead)... Well, will just have to unscrew it and see if i can drain the water that way. Once i get this sorted, i'll attach a spigot where the relief valve is.

    HELP! Burst Pipe between my Well Pump and Pressure tank. What do i do?

    Heres that pressure relief valve - i could open this up to drain the water from here right? Theoretically i could also just unscrew this valve and drain that way (at least i'd have room to catch it) ...

    HELP! Burst Pipe between my Well Pump and Pressure tank. What do i do?

    Thanks for the quick response guys. I will get the necessary parts to cut this out and replace. A little more info, this doesn't connect to my house - its simply an irrigation pump for the yard/garden. The pump hasnt been on during any of this time, i had the power to the pump cut to prepare...

    HELP! Burst Pipe between my Well Pump and Pressure tank. What do i do?

    Hi all, new member here. Temperatures have been at records low lately, -12 the other night! I've been checking my pipes and all is well in the house, but my barn has a room with the well pump and well pressure tank stored there. There is a wall between the pump room, and another room that has...
