> has anyone ever seen pipe freeze coming out of well casing.or maybe well pump went bad on the coldest day ive ever seen.
It depends on what type of head you have on your well. Most every thing you see nowadays is a pitless. This means that the water never comes up to the top 4ft of the well casing.
However if you have an old style "Morrison head" (sp?), then the water comes all the way up to the top of the casing when the well is running. Those can freeze, but I've only heard about it.
I have one of these morrison stype well heads and has been working in -35F. I can't say the same for my pressure switch though. It's been two days in a row now of taking a 2 minute shower, then running out with a hairdryer.
