[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 257713, member: 1744"] Just buy a frost free hydrant...not being a wise acre, it's what we use. The valve is below the frost line and has a drain feature so that when it's shut off the stand pipe drains out. They are rated as to the depth that you want them to be below the grade. We use the 4 foot models and haven't had a freeze up yet. We still run tank heaters as we have below zero nights and most of our winter is below freezing. Did have one of the girls flip a floating heater out and enede up with a cracked tank and a one hundred gallon ice cube. If you run a hose into the tank you need to remember to pull it out when finished filling as the draining stand pipe will create a siphon that will drain the tank. Hope this helps...Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
