Title: water storage tank valve and line
Post by: astidham on May 29, 2012, 10:34:22 PM
I have a 1550 poly water storage tank and was wondering, since this will be outside and on top of the ground, what keeps the water outlet area from freezing? What can I do to stop it from freezing?
I know to bury the line 18", but what about what is above ground?
Thanks,
Todd

How cold does it normally get?

Heat tape?  Needs electric.

Submersible or floating tank heater like for a stock tank? Build a shed type structure and insulate?
