Yard (technically a barn) Hydrant

[ktrubright]

Pipes should come up from the floor or come through the basement wall, which would be coming from your well. Probably hooked up to a pressure tank if you have an in well pump, or hooked up to a pump in the basement. So if you locate where they come in you may find a pipe that also goes out the same way and it should have a shut off valve before it goes out.

Probably dumb questions but what is a pressure tank or an in well pump? Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. My dad had a well in NC but it just ran straight from the well to the house there were no other parts to it and his yard hydrant never had any issues.

There is a big round blue tank looking thing next to where our washer and dryer is, could that be a pressure tank?

We have a pump that is directly in our well. A pressure tank is needed for that type of well pump to maintain water pressure at a fairly constant rate. Many brands are blue, so it's possible that's what that tank is. If you don't have an actual water pump in your basement than you have an in well pump and pressure tank.

I'm not sure where they come in because of there actually is a shut off in the basement, the pipes are buried and we have a lot of pipes downstairs. There is a box that looks like a breaker but it says air conditioning which I'm not sure what it goes to since we don't have a/c!

That may be hooked up to a heat pump, and it was just installed with the wrong label on it or the house may have had air conditioning at one time and not now.
