This may be the answer if you don't require water on demand when you are not there. If all you want is water when you throw the switch keep reading. There is a check valve in the top of submersible pumps that keeps the water in the line from the pump to the house/tank from running backdown the line when the pump shuts off. Remove this check valve. Now when you shut off the pump the water will run back down into the well until it reaches the water level in the well, around here ,southern New Englend, this is not too far, about 10 to 40 ft. As soon as you switch on the pump it will fill the pipe and fill again and water will flow. You avoid the problem with the above ground pipe and tank freezing this way. You do need to leave the pipe open when you shut off the pump so water will run back down the pipe. I used this system to fill gravity storage tanks in the attic. I would fill the tanks until water ran out the overflow/fill conected to the top of the tank, shut off the pump, water would run back into the well leaving my plastic pipe, which was just laying on the ground, empty and safe from freezing.
