Today I changed the whole house filter. Now I no longer have water.
First I shut off the valve for water going into my house. I shut off the valve going out of the pump before the filter, and then I open up some faucets to drain all the water left over in the system. I then unscrewed the plastic housing to replace the filter and replaced the filter.
I turned back on the valve after the expansion tank, but I forgot to turn the valve back on going from the well into my house.
At first everything worked fine, but eventually I completely ran out of water.
Later I realized that I had forgotten to turn that well to house valve back on. When I finally got around to turning that on. I had zero pressure displayed on the expansion tank pressure display, and now the pump doesn't seem to be pumping any water into my house.
All valves are open again. The well pump breaker did not trip.
Did I burn out my well pump?
Is it safe to keep my radiant heat oil heat system going when I don't have water?
Any idea on a fix?
