Yeah, we don't water. the lawn. We'd probably have to water a couple of acres to keep our pipes safe. And while we wouldn't be paying for water, we would be paying for the power (and causing wear on the pump). I've called a plumber out to fix 2 of the issues that we had (now 3) and fixed the rest myself. It's usually just darn inconvenient.
The guys came and fixed it. Actually, the missus and I were inside and I thought I heard a noise, so I looked out the window to see if the guys had arrived. I didn't initially see them because there wasn't a truck in the driveway. Turns out they already had the truck at the well, and were actually done with the repair. They were just wrapping things up. They discovered that the bladder in the pressure tank must have died this year, so they'll be back this week to replace the pressure tank. In the mean time, We've got water.
Their fix should give us more flex in the future.

What kind of voodoo magic are they using where the PVC joins that metal T? I don't see a 1" MPT adapter. It looks like it's just glued into the metal T.
I'da probably popped one of these in.

But then again, I'm not a plumber. I didn't have enough crack showing so they wouldn't license me. Picked a bad day to not wear a thong.
