Hi ,nice información.
How much can be the cost for that's service?

Thanks for the video. If you have a well and a pressure tank, what needs to happen with those?

[@theunlikelyhomesteaders]

The well should be okay. Typically it's insulated around the opening if it's a dug well. A drilled well is usually very deep and won't freeze that far down. The pressure tank will be emptied as you do the winterizing process. The water will be shut off and you will drain everything from the hot water tank and start blowing everything out. The pressure tank will naturally be empty. Of course, you will have to turn off the breaker for the well pump to keep it from filling up again.

What about the cold water side ?

[@theunlikelyhomesteaders]

It's all tied to together. As you blow everything out, since the water is shut off, all the lines (both hot and cold) will be emptied during the process. You don't need to do each side.

What happens if you don’t blow out the lines?

[@theunlikelyhomesteaders]

If you don't blow out the ines, and you're not using the building to keep it warm, the pipes will freeze and break. When they thaw out, you'll have a big mess and lots of repairs!
