We have a lot of cold weather right now, -10 last night, and water stopped.
I spent a while today heating the pipes, and the well tank, and after a few hours got a flow of water from the tank to the water filter (rapidly filling the clear filter) I also managed to run some water out of the pipes from various valves along the way - pretty much thought it was all fixed.
Then suddenly the flow from the tank to the filter stops, I drain the filter to see if there is a flow and nothing, so the problem is isolated to the tank>filter or earlier in the pipeline.
Water pressure is showing over 100psi, and has always been this high since we moved to the house.
I'm trying to figure out how I could go from a situation where I have restored waterflow, and now have lost it again. It is still a little cold (10f) but I think that a 'refreeze' is unlikely, so perhaps it is mechanical on the pump system.
Are there any things to check that might help see if something has been tripped/burned out? Other things I looked at:

- Breaker is not flipped.
- Pressure switch visual look, saw no ice inside the casing.
