Well, it happened...first time it got me but it has happened on occasion
prior...

Have small gas stove in well house for the obvious reason and didn't
think to check for certain the other night but after was -17F overnight
and it was obviously out and froze up, was wondering if could be a
relatively simple way to get a signal that could use to alarm with?

It's a walk that isn't always the direction from which am coming that
have to make a specific trip out there to check as is...a red LED in the
window or the like would be helpful to avoid unneeded trips or to notify
if out. Can, for example, see that window from house; a red light out
there after dark would be quite effective and easily spotted...

As a side note I replaced the old "wild" pilot with a safety valve and
new pilot assembly to hold the thermocouple a couple of years ago. This
pilot seems much more susceptible to going out than the previous albeit
with the safety factor of shutting off the gas when it is that the other
didn't have...but, freezing up isn't a good option, either, if it does;
took me most of day to get it thawed out given the temperatures reached....


When I was doing service work, I installed a lot of automatic pilot relight kits on gas furnaces and water heaters where high winds were blowing out the pilot lights. High winds blowing past the exhaust pipe on the roof would create a vacuum in the flue that would pull a lot of air through the burner of a furnace or water heater and blow out the pilot. You might try a relight kit on your stove/heat source in your pump house. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
