[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1433848, member: 24016"] We have found two things have a big impact on if they (any brand, have tried them all) freeze up or not. 1. put a heat tape around the pipe where it comes out of the ground and wind it around the pipe up to the float (replace in the summer, trust me its easier!). 2. Make sure there is adequate gravel/soil around the unit so cold air can't leak into the unit (sounds dumb, but at -20F, windchill inside the unit will make afore mentioned tape useless). [/QUOTE]
