[DIY] Well pump inop

 

I have inherited a house 200 miles away. In preparation for the winter
freeze, I went to the house about three weeks ago.

Every house I have lived in was connected to city water. So to make sure
that nothing ugly happens I have always been able to shut off the water to
the house with a valve. Then I could kill the water heater and feel
somewhat safe about potential water damage. With the well, I thought this
would be even easier. Before I left three weeks ago I just killed the power
to the pump and the power to the water heater. I opened a tap at the sink
and no water came out so I came home.

Today I went up to the house to cut the grass and I flipped the breakers
back on. But I did not get any water. A little spit of air and that was
it.

I do not know what kind of pump this is. I cannot even find the pump.

I cannot hear one sound. Does a pump like this require a prime? And if so,
how does one prime it?

Or has something burned out completely?

I will be returning to this house in about two weeks and I would like to be
able to get a drink and flush the toilets.

Thanks
