    Well pump not working

    When we purchased out property it didn't have a well. It cost us $6,000.00 and that was 19 years ago, I can only imagine what it would cost now. 6-7 years ago we had the pump replaced and that cost $1,300.00. My monthly income is less than that. My husband was in a car accident that left him...

    Well pump not working

    Believe me, if I could afford a professional I would in a heartbeat. My husband and I are both on disability and believe me its not much. I have two choices, fix it myself or go without running water. Borrowing money is not an option. Thank you for your help.

    Well pump not working

    Thanks for the response. We threw the breaker as soon as we saw the water wasn't running, but we have no way of knowing when it stopped in the middle of the night. I will have to find a clip around amp meter. I guess we will have to pull the pump if there is power going to it. I am not looking...

    Well pump not working

    That's ok. The pump is 240V, hence my hesitation. My step-dad always taught me to respect electricity. The pressure switch is a Square D and no lever. I've changed the pressure switch in the past so changing it this time wasn't a big deal. I can't find the multimeter's instruction book, I've had...

    Well pump not working

    Multimeter, there's a word I know, LOL. Our water lines from the well is 2 foot deep. Even if the pipe from the well was frozen, wouldn't the pump hum or something?

    Well pump not working

    We have heat tape on the lines below the insulation under our trailer. After the first freeze we put a heat lamp on the pressure switch even though the heat tape wraps around the back side going into the main water pipe. As soon as we saw the water slow to a trickle we opened all the faucets to...

    Well pump not working

    Its a submersible pump, the well is 310 feet deep. We live in a mobile home and the pressure tank, control box and pressure switch is under the trailer. When I checked the capacitor the control box was open and the breaker was off, so no power. I don't want to sound like an idiot but I don't...

    Well pump not working

    We have heat tape on the lines below the insulation under our trailer. The burst water lines were above the insulation, 1st time in 15 years. After the first freeze we put a heat lamp on the pressure switch even though the heat tape wraps around the back side going into the main water pipe. We...

    Well pump not working

    Hi, I am having trouble trying to figure out why my well pump isn't working. We live in Southeast Missouri and so far the winter has been brutal! The first severe freeze burst our water pipes, even though we left the water running in an attempt to avoid exactly that. We replaced what was broken...
