When the temperatures stay below freezing for several days the heater will buildup ice and slow the water down. If this occurs then it will get to the point of stopping water flow through the system. When this occurs then you will need to take action and turn the pump off and remove any drain plugs on the pump (2 located either in the front of the pump basket or on the side. The 2nd one is on the housing that is attached to the trap or pump basket either on the side or in front of the housing) The next thing is to remove any drain plugs on the heater. Located where the pipes on into the heater and sometimes on the opposite side. On a Raypack heater you may have to remove the side panel to get to that plug. Next you need to remove the drain plug on the filter. Locations are on the back side at the base or in front of the filter at the base. You may have a pool-weep pump and if you do then you need to take the drain plug out of it located
in front of the pump towards the bottom. Be sure to turn the power off so if you have a freeze protector it won;t continue to run the pump with it drained.

What is the function of foot valve in the pump?
A foot valve, in relation to a water well, is a check valve at he bottom of a well to keep the water from running back into the well from the pump when the pump is not running. If the check valve does not hold the water the pump will lose it's prime and will not pump water.

What causes well water to stop running?
On well water, there is sometimes a reservoir that needs to refill. So if water stopped coming out of your tap, normally you just have to wait till it refills. IF YOUR PUMP IS RUNNING & NO WATER YOU COULD HAVE A LEAK IN LINE FROM WELL TO PUMP.THE PUMP SHOULD PUMP UP PRESSURE & THEN LEAK BACK DOWN IN PRESSURE. I HAD THE VALVE GO BAD AT THE END OF LINE IN WELL & INSTEAD OF PULLING LINE FROM WELL, I INSTALLED A VALVE AT PUMP THAT LEAVES WATER FLOW FROM THE WELL, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW WATER TO LEAK BACK TO WELL. A SIMPLE FIX. FIRST, DID YOU TRY PRIMING THE PUMP BY FILLING WATER PUMP THROUGH THE PLUG ON THE PUMP & 2ND. ARE YOU SURE THE WELL IS NOT DRY. IF YOU PRIME THE PUMP WITH WATER & IT PUMPS NOW THE WELL WATER IS OK,BUT IF IT LEAKS DOWN & LOSES THE PRIME, THE FIX ABOVE WILL REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
What is a Myers Ejecto well pump?
It is what is commonly called a "Jet Pump". This is a motor connected to a pump chamber that has 2 pipes going down the well and sucks water through an 'ejector' that increases flow and brings water to the surface. This pump sits at or near the well head. - The other basic type of well pump is a "Submersible" pump. These sit down the well, deep in water and pump straight to the surface through a series of impellers.
