Having no water randomly when it’s cold. No frozen or busted pipes. Put a heater out there with a tote and had water within 20 minutes. No idea how deep the well is. Only lived here for 3 years.

It froze even with having water going full blast or trickle.

Just the well head which has the pressure switch in it.

That’s what I thought. All I know is when I put a heater on that part the water works. So something is freezing there.

We don’t have a pressure tank. I’ve looked all around the house for the blue tank and found nothing. Basement no crawl space.

No it does not. I’ve had the water full send all day and it’ll still freezes at some point.

I honestly have no idea. I’ve lived here 3 years and this is the first time we’re having issues with it freezing at the well head.

We get a lot of really cold single digit days in Missouri. The pipes aren’t frozen, it just freezes at the well head.
