*This is projected to be a very hard freeze!!!

Freeze prep info!

Wrapping exposed plumbing is step one but there are some other things to know.

You don’t need to wrap your tank.
Wrapping your 2” well casing is a good idea.

Your air volume control, air release, schrader valve, and relief valve need to be exposed.

Keep water moving through ALL of your faucets. About a pencil lead sized stream, and include hot water. You want your pump kicking on about 3-5 times an hour. If it’s kicking on every few minutes you are going to burn it up.

A heat source near your pressure switch is important since water doesn’t run through it and it has a very small or***ce that can freeze quickly. If your water stops flowing, grab a hair dryer and try to thaw this area first, if it freezes while it’s running, it can over pressure. On a 4” well your relief valve will start spraying water, on a 2” well, only bad things can happen as there is no relief valve on those systems so keep an eye on your gauge.

On a 4” well, if your pressure switch and check valve are not in the same place, keep both things warm. That check valve can freeze itself shut.

If you lose power, it’s time to drain everything you can.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.

If you have any trouble during the freeze, give me a call 281-414-2344. If your pipes are frozen solid, there’s not much anyone can do until it warms up.

Stay safe and warm y’all!

Sitting in the shade watching water tv. Acidized the well and replaced the scaled over pump. Things pumping a ton of water. All after another company told my buddy he needed a new well because his was going dry, then quoted him to drill to the same damn strata he’s already in 🙄
