I'm directing this question to those of you who live in cold climates and has nothing to do with fish. For several years, I had to replace my well pump housing after our annual cold spells. I don't live on the land and in the winter, I blow the lines on my trailer house, dip all of the water from the toilet and put RV anti freeze in the sink and tub traps. My well is in a well house outside the house and now, when I leave after a weekend, I now shut off the water from the holding tank to the inside pump and pressure tank. I then unscrew the pump plug and drain it. When I show the next weekend, I reverse the process. Pain in the butt! That works OK but I've been wondering what measures people in really cold climates take. I've tried heat tape and keeping a light bulb burning and that didn't work. What do you guys do? Is there an easier or better way?
