I would first check to ensure the pump is below the water level in the well. These pumps will pump air. If the pump (or foot valve) is below the water level, then I would check my pressure tank to make sure that it is not full of air.
if the water in the pipes freezes, it will expand and break the pipes.

Well, I don't know what can be PUSHED through a pipe but i know that sound can travel through pipes, water can travel through pipes and gases can travel through pipes. But solids don't have a chance! How do you think we get our water in our homes? It travels through pipes of course! I hoped this helped a little. Thank You!
It is generally caused by the building up of sulphur in the pipes if your on a well.
Air can accumulate in water pipes connected to a well system due to a variety of reasons, such as a drop in water levels in the well, a leak in the system, or issues with the pump or pressure tank.
Yes, water pipes in homes can expand and contract due to changes in temperature. When pipes are exposed to heat, they expand, and when they cool down, they contract. This expansion and contraction can lead to stress on the pipes, potentially causing leaks or damage over time.
No. The Main is source of water for that as well.
To effectively unfreeze well water pipes, you can use a hair dryer, heat lamp, or heating pad to gently warm the pipes. Avoid using open flames or high heat sources to prevent damage. Additionally, you can insulate the pipes to prevent future freezing.
What type of water system - city supplied or private well? That is the foundation of your answer.
The water that is piped in from the city or from your well goes through your water heater and then into the hot water pipes.
Insulating water pipes helps prevent freezing by maintaining the water temperature above freezing point, reducing the risk of burst pipes and water damage. Frozen pipes can disrupt water flow and cause costly repairs if they burst due to ice expansion, so proper insulation is key for winter protection.
