Ugh, woke up for work and NO WATER! Any body have any ideas what could be wrong? I am on a well,,,,Lord, I hope I dont have to replace it. Of course, breaks down on Sat. rightbefore Easter, and I am supposed to have 16 people here!

May be your pump lost it's prime unplug it for a minute and see if that helps.
|
Check the breaker inside the house and ours has one near the pump itself.
|
Breaker first. then check pressure tank. I hope you dont need a new pump. Good luck.

I see you are in WI. Is it still cold there? This happened to use one day last winter, it was cold, the pipe leading from the well frozen. As the day started to warm, it thawed and we had water again. Also, do you have a filter for the water as it comes into the house? Make sure the filter is not clogged with sand or dirt restricting water flow. Good luck.

OH NO!! I can't help but wish you the best :!:
|
Oh no! I'm so sorry Carrieanne!!!

Unfortunately this is one of the "joys" of country living. Everytime we have no water the heater in the pumphouse is unplugged or has blown a fuse. Last week I couldn't figure out why no water and discovered DH had moved the heater to keep a load of seed potatoes a little warmer. It's all about priorities and my hot shower wasn't first on his list. Good luck (hope it's fast and cheap!) solving your water problems.

It used to happen to us all the time. If there was a small power outage we had to restart a switch that controlled the pump. Look around, you may see a little switch.
|
That is a murphy's law when you are haveing a big afair something breaks always happened on week ends when they charge twice the amount. I hope it is a minor thing. My mother's well pump would quit when ants would build a nest in the pump.
