[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1710022, member: 40072"] When is the Miraco going in? They can be a game changer in extreme cold. An adequate number of cattle to keep the chamber charged with warm water is essential. The water may not freeze but the valve might and the trouble comes when they drink enough to lower the ball and let cold air into the chamber. Mine has a divider over it and I put in a hydrant beside the Miraco. I can take a short hose and recharge the chamber with warmer water and the valve will free up. At -30 you may want to push the drain plug back into the chamber and let the water out and then refill the chamber with water. To me it is easier than jacking with a frozen valve. A lot more economical than a 1000 watt heat element! Hope it works out for you / [/QUOTE]
