That should do the job in central Kansas or Nebraska. Probably overkill in Texas but it doesn't hurt. Just the insulation and allowing your faucet to run a very small stream would work.
Great video. I have lost my temp controlled power strip (I have the same one you have). I have it hooked to a 100W heat lamp and built a styrofoam fort over all the moving water (softener, pressure tank, output to ground designed for the house. Cheers from north Texas!
It’s probably just 6x8 feet. About 4.5 feet tall. Just big enough to cover up my equipment. If I did it again I would make an easy way to remove the roof if needed. If my well pump goes out I’m gonna have to dismantle it to change out the underground equipment.
Thank you for this video I'm looking to construct an insulated structure to enclose my well equipment also, quick question how wld i go about getting a power outlet inside the structure so that i can use a heat lamp?
I ran a second electrical line with a 20 amp fuse from my meter into the house for the power plug. Can’t really tap into the line going to the well pump since that’s running on 220.
Have you seen the heat lights actually turn on? Reason, I have one of those thermostats, found out I have to buy the special cord for it, Lowes didn't offer it, so ..uah
That impacted me last year. Pool pumps froze as a result. My only advice for that is gas generator, quartz heater, and as much insulation as you can put in ahead of time!! I wish you the best! Thanks for your comment.
@@tuberstitious A generator Hooked up to your well power source. I’m not an electrician nor smart enough to speak to technicalities, but it’s definitely a thing.

With the winters we have been having in Texas we need it now!!
Thanks! I’ll probably try this!

That looks really nice. Fits the look of your land and should do the trick.
Use reptile heat lamps. Cheap and self regulate.
Great idea!
Thanks. I’m looking forward to trying some of those tips out locally, as the temp is expected to drop quite a bit around Xmas.
I hope it helps!
What size is that? I’m in Texas too tired of freezing well head. Looking for some basic plans no concrete thanks

Yes, I have checked it and it works for me. What’s the special cord intended for?
Really nice build. You could probably create a business building and selling these, especially now that hard southern winters have made a comeback.
Many thanks. It worked great again this year. I’m building a similar one for another well nearby. Thanks for your comment.
My concern is the loss of power during a freeze. Any suggestions?
