[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 473971, member: 968"] I love my Mirafounts. Installed first one in '87 - 2 hole. Just replaced with a 6 hole. (old one still good, will put elsewhere - someday!) Got heater for this one, didn't have one for last one. Put in a "curb shutoff" (long pole that turns a faucet underground) to turn off water when needed. Dun, we can't/couldn't leave a 1/4 inch gap. If there was ANY opening whatsoever, the valve would freeze. Ours is out in open, on hill, no protection, gets all the wind. Old one would freeze up even when it was closed up good. Just haul bucket of hot water & pour it in & leave it. Thaws out easily. The whole idea of it is that it's a great big thermosbottle. Keep closed up & heat can't get out, cold can't get in. NEW water is what creates the heat inside. And, YES, they do have BLUE BALLS - now I have SIX BLUE BALLS!! :P [/QUOTE]
