[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1726642, member: 24027"] No solar panels but have been fighting with the well in the east 80. Bulls broke off the spout to the tank late last summer and I had to crawl inside the well house & pump water with a hose for almost 2 months - it was right after Mr. TC's surgery and I recognize my limitations as far as plumbing. All good until our first epic freeze a few weeks ago. Clearly, the band new deicer I bought wasn't working and inside the well house, the solenoid valve literally blew off and water was spewing inside. Replaced the deicer, cranked up the heater inside the well house and called the only guy that works on wells in this area who is 80, retired & lives almost an hour away. Big fun climbing back inside the well house for a week to pump water with the hose but doable. Got the solenoid valve replaced and it worked - for a few hours, until the float wasn't working and the water wasn't shutting off. Called the guy again. Oh, and could he also see what was wrong with the 2nd well at the barnyard that fills the fountain? I do feel for you with the lightning strike! One good hit and it'll shut everything down. [/QUOTE]
