[QUOTE="Gunner, post: 1243238, member: 14221"] Heat tape and a small generator maybe? I don't think the water in the tank will freeze very fast but the valve and hose might. If you are worried about the water in the water trough freezing a generator would probably run a tank heater. Or you might be able to rig a small pump of some kind and circulate water from the water trough back to the tank and gravity back to the trough where it would stay moving and keep it from freezing. I don't know how much juice it takes to run those 12 volt pumps like the sprayer pumps or if a pump like that would move enough water to keep it from freezing. 12 volt deep cycle batteries and solar panels to recharge them during the day might work and eliminate the generator.
