Use plywood or sheet insulation to make a "dog house" around the pump and pipes. Put a 250 watt infrared heat bulb in the enclosure aiming at the housing. Best of luck getting thins going. Do not shut off valves on lines or faucets. Freezing happens in a pipe then that freezing pressurizes the remaining (liquid) until it splits lines where there is no ice.
