Well House



It is late November and I needed to get a temporary well house built. The pump is submersed 190' down. There is a 52 gallon pressure tank, pressure switch and cut-off valves that are exposed until the house is built. I will move everything into the mechanical room of the house when completed, but I have to protect it from freezing over the winter. I built a 4'x3'x3.5' box and will use 3/4" styrofoam insulation on the sides. I will also put it under the roof. I also made a metal roof for it. This should keep it from freezing. I also painted it flat black for added solar heating.
