Yeah, i jumped the gun on that one. A yard hydrant was the first thing
that came to mind but realized as soon as i hit send that they were
completely different.

That is certainly one way of doing this but up here in the north country we
install a "piss valve" available at your local plumbing or pump supply
store. It is a small valve installed in the water
NOPE this is a small in line valve inside the well casing. Check valve at the
pump at the bottom of well ck valve at the "tank"tee" when one opens the system
in the fall pressure inside the feed line pressure drops and this little valve
opens and drains residual H20 from the line.

It is a small valve installed in the water line below freeze level in the well
and when pump is operating the valve closes due to the rise of
drill a tiny hole in the delivery line at the top of the casing, so when the
water is not pumping it will empty into the well... yes, some will leak when
the pump is running but the only other "non-automatic" option is a seasonal
drain valve.

Hello wrenches,
Ive got a potential client that has purchased a Shurflo 9302 submersible
pump that he wants to use at a seasonal cabin. Does this type of pump
reliably drain back when it is not energized?
If not, do you have any simple ways to keep the piping from freezing near
the top of the wel
