[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 726389, member: 9169"] It's a pain to bust the ice every day but unless it's gonna get cold enough for long enough to freeze the tank solid that's your only choice besides a tank heater. Keep in mind that the heater has a thermostat in it, it's not going to kick on and use any electricity unless it needs to. But if you don't want to spend $50 on a heater that you only need once in a few years, that is understandable. You can put heat tape on the pipes, it's pretty cheap to buy and run, but I wouldn't put it on any hoses. Just drain them every time you use them as others have said. We put our tank right under the hydrant to avoid messing with a hose at all. [/QUOTE]
