Wondering if we keep our well will it freeze due to non use in the
winter? Is there some maintenance that has to be done when shutting down.
It's a submersible and has a standing pipe, about a foot, in the yard.
They allow us to keep it for outdoor use.
I have a well and county water. A couple of years ago my well froze up on
me do to lack of use over the winter so I hooked it to the toilet that
gets the most use. Haven't had any trouble since with that problem.
