[QUOTE="Roadapple, post: 603625, member: 2919"] Mitch; What kind of waterer are you trying to thaw out? I have a sorry a$$ Franklin, which would freeze up every time it was cold and a south wind. Would sit there for a frigging hour trying to thaw that d..n thing out with a heat gun stuck down in the hole, trying not to melt wires and plastic pipe. One morning when I was thoroughly wizzed off, I took a 5 gal. bucket of hot water and dumped in it. Took about 5 steps away from it and heard a whoosh, looked back and water was flowing. Was'nt froze down in pit, float was froze to side. Had a hydrant froze, could'nt raise handle. Used heat gun, little butane torch, could'nt get that #@% &*$# thing thawed out. Dumped out half gal. of diet green tea (with ginseng), filled jug with hot water, slowly poured about a cup of hot water on it and pulled handle.
