[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1639139, member: 24027"] I have a Ritchie at the barn and I wrap heating tape around the pipes so it doesn't freeze, same as with the stock tanks in the pastures. Where I live it definitely does freeze so I also use de-icers. If you don't have electricity & it rarely freezes, there are worse things than breaking ice in a stock tank (like in a pond - welcome to my former world). Depending how big, some people swear by filling old milk jugs with a mixture of salt & water to keep their tanks from freezing. Never tried it - it's easier to just go knock a few holes & pull out the chunks. [/QUOTE]
