It's about 0 degree here and out pipes tend to freeze in the cold whether. We try to keep the water running but sometimes they still freeze up. When we do, we put a hair dryer on them and it gets them going.
The pipes froze this morning and when we heated the pipes and got them going again, the water pump started clicking on and off very fast (almost 4 times a second). As long as the pump is on, it keeps doing this. While it's on the water comes out of the faucets as if all is normal, but the pipes shake because of the constant on and off.
I know almost nothing about water pumps and don't know what to do at this point. When it turns out and off, there's a spark in the switch, but I assume that's normal, but with the constant turning on and off, it just keeps sparking.
Any idea what to do about this?
Thanks
