I just saw an eye doctor and she said I have floatersbut something I just thought of is isn't floaters supposed to be spots on the eye?well what i'm seeing is seethrough! and it looks like maybe a strand of hair or yarn or something but its not! its always a differnt size or in a different place whenever I see it again it seems.so is this still a floater?and also how do you get and get rid of floaters?
The only suggestion I can give you is after it thaws is to wrap all of the exposed pipe in a good compound and wrap with a heavy insulationalso when there is the slightest sign that it is going to reach freezing turn on a faucet on slow trickle so that the water stays moving so that it cant freeze upAs for the hot water I don't think it will workIf you are considering anti-freeze in the water DONTGood luck
BOY YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT ANTI FREEZER IN YOUR WELL OR ANY PART OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM! THAT STUFF IS POISON!! Sounds like your water line going from the well to the house is not buried deep enough to be below the freeze lineOr you didn't insulate the cap pipe good enough (stub up where is comes out of the groundThat is usual the sallowest place where the line is buried and so will freeze up there firstAnother possible freeze point is where the pipe rises to enter the houseHate to say this but if it is the water line itself you might have to dig it up to get it thawed outOr you can rig up a templine using PVC as long as you keep the water running so it doesn't freeze up as wellOr drain it when not using it.
I can't contribute a whole lot, but I would be very surprised that the system elements deep in the ground could freeze - even in WisconsinI'm not sure the type of pump, but I know of none that is dependent upon mechansims above the freeze lineI would guess your freeze line couldn't be more than five feet below gradeAnd I would think your basement is cold but not freezing coldYour problem may be mechanicalI don't see how hot water could do any harmI feel sorry I can't provide any more guidance.
Hot water down the pipe won't hurt any thing but I doubt if it will help.the small pipe sticking up is a handle for a pitiless well adapterlook up pitiless well adapter on the Internet to see what they look like they usually leave the well casing( the large pipe) at about 3 feet below ground levelI'm not sure at what depth the frost line is in your area but this is probably the closest point to ground level for the system you could try a thick layer of straw or some other mulch around the well and over the path you think the pipe takes to the house If done in the fall it would keep this from happening again you could try an mechanics drop light and lower it down the well to just below where you see the pipe leaving the well with a 100 watt bulb the make a lot of heat
