[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1772951, member: 24947"] I think being where you are if you'll make sure your plumbing is insulated and use a big trough. I don't understand folks using those little 50 gallon trough. Several hundred gallons takes longer and colder to freeze. Set your valve to allow just a small stream when float is open. Taking more time to fill means more time of moving water. Plus if something does break not near the loss of water.i keep a rubber ball in mine, soccer ball sized. So I can check water level from a distance. It seems to help with freezing as well. Moving about I guess. Most of your troubles in a historical freeze like a couple of years ago will come from frozen plumbing and electric grid being down. [/QUOTE]
