[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 3925518, member: 32877"] This will indeed work IF you have no Pressure Tank and Pressure Switch on the Well. Otherwise you have created a problem for unnecessary wear and tear as well as cost your wallet by doing this. And it will do nothing for freeze conditions as all your doing is letting the water in your pressure tank to pressure bleed out the hole you just drilled in your pump piping till the pressure switch lowers down till the pump kicks on, then it just repeats itself unnecessarily. We do this on wells that just pump water and no pressure tank is used, as in filling large caw tanks. But doing this with a pressure tank and such is a waste and will cause your well pump to unnecessarily cycle when not needed and does not eliminate freezing. [/QUOTE]
