[RE-wrenches] Freeze protection Seasonal well

[toddcory at finestplanet.com]

drill a tiny hole in the delivery line at the top of the casing, so when the water is not pumping it will empty into the well... yes, some will leak when the pump is running but the only other "non-automatic" option is a seasonal drain valve.

Hello wrenches,
Ive got a potential client that has purchased a Shurflo 9302 submersible pump that he wants to use at a seasonal cabin.  Does this type of pump reliably drain back when it is not energized?  
If not, do you have any simple ways to keep the piping from freezing near the top of the well head?
Thanks
