[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 181226, member: 852"] Just the handle that's froze, or can you lift the handle but there's no water? Just the handle freezing is a relatively easy fix; bucket of hot water. Don't force 'em - I do believe I've broken those hydrants before doing that. :roll: (When the weather warmed up afterwards I had a steady stream of water running!) I try to only use the hydrants during the warmer part of the day and not mess with them in the early morning temps. If the hydrant itself is frozen...well, I have one hydrant, and sometimes two, that do that every winter. Thankfully I have other hydrants on the property - but it does mean I'm running over 200 feet of hose to fill my tanks. :shock: :roll: Good thing a full tank lasts those cows about four days. LOL. Wouldn't want to go through that on a daily basis. [/QUOTE]
