Over the last couple of days I have been noticing an issue with our above ground well pump, in that sometimes the water will die in the house completely, upon going out to the well pump I can hear a buzzing coming from the pump intermittently like the pump is trying to click on but doesn't start running... Then, after a few minutes, for whatever reason, it starts again, running as normal.
We're approaching cold weather, down to hard freezing so I've been running it over night off and on with the water in the house on a trickle to prevent the pipes from freezing, however, I'm concerned if it stops during the night it might freeze up and that will be that...
Any ideas? Or some things I can check that might explain this behavior?
I installed this pump almost 2 years ago and apart from a faulty pressure switch once, which I replaced easily enough, it's been running like a champ, and I can't see that it's the pump on it's way out as it's not that old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, hopefully it's something I can resolve before the weather give me a problem!
