[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1772982, member: 6291"] That's why I would not trickle water in a freeze if you are on a well and pressure tank. I would much rather the pump run ron-stop for 3 or 4 days that click on and off. "Dripping" is not enough, IMO. Plus, if you lose electricity and the pipes are open they tend to no break as often. If I remember correctly all our solar wells stayed working during the freeze. I agree 100% with Fence. I've never understood small troughs for all kinds of reasons. The difference between a 1000g poly and 200g poly is not enough to justify the hassle of the small trough. Can't tell you how many people have to me, but I'm on a well. 🙄 They act like their well never goes out. Right now any water well person is several days out and pumps have been hard to get in some cases also if you have slim holes or any thing not pretty standard. [/QUOTE]
