Does this heater have an antifreeze setting? Need it to keep the pipes from freezing in our pumphouse this winter.

no it does not. but it is very durable. this was a gift for my daughter in law. I already had one and I cant remember how long I have had it. it is a very good product, and my daughter in law loves it, and has no complaints. I think as long as the heater does not get wet, it will be fine in your pump house.

It sounds like you're looking for a heater you can leave on it's own for an extended amount of time. This heater has a function that could keep your pumphouse from freezing, depending on the size. However, I don't personally believe this is the type of heater you should use in that situation. Though this heater is quite powerful for its size and inexpensive to use, a small ceramic heater like this turn into a pretty tremendous fire hazard if left unattended.

It is essential that the unit be in a location where it will not freeze up. Even with an indoor installation, my daughter's unit froze and was destroyed because the exhaust pipe allowed very cold air to feed into the unit when the 'flapper' valve got lodged open.

Not sure, but rather than turn it off I set it at 40; so it can go at least that low. Not sure you'd want it any lower because the pipes would freeze!

Yes but it has temp control to turn on & off at 40 or higher if you wish. I have left it unattended in my pump house all winter.

I live in the Southwest, so it doesn't get as cold as it does other places. While I can see how the heated versions would be nice elsewhere, it didn't seem a necessary cost for where I live and the cool water is actually quite nice when the heater is on. The main advice I hear from other people is that you should make sure your pipes are well insulated, so the water going through the bidet doesn't freeze or get too cold in winter.

Not that I am aware of, my water comes out of a fresh water lake. It is just above freezing temp in early spring and the heater gets it hot no problem.

Not sure exactly what you are asking but it works very well for me in my application to heat the service bay compartment in my motor-coach. It will keep the water pipes from freezing in cold weather.

I really cannot answer the question, we have had the coldest couple months here in years, My primary heat is all electric heat pump, so I was expecting a huge bill adding the heater also, I ran it quite a few days without turning it off, my bill was lower than I expected it to be, and it is a warmer heat than the heat pump

I have a 100 ft extension cord running to the heater, and it works well. Temperatures have been in the low teens so far and not a bit of ice has formed on the water... Seems to keep the water about 38°-40°.

No, the design is for the thermostat to be outside so as the temperature drops to freezing then the heat will keep the pipes outside from freezing.

No problem. Just do not allow the water to boil off completely. I use a programable thermostat to shut the heater off or hold at a desired temperature.

Yep, the heat may be shut off (via a switch in the back) thereby just giving room-temp water. The cold water has a stat / adjustment nob. I've simply left it at the factory setting...cold but not too cold for me...

My measurements and calculations predict that the water around this 50 W heater will freeze at about 11°F. If you want to prevent freezing to lower temperatures, replace the heater with the 80W version, Model 9001. I would expect that one to work to -2°F.

If it's working there will be no ice in the center. After a heavy snow you may have to remove the build up in the center. It runs on only 100 watts so it won't get supper hot. You can get a much higher wattage heater at a farm supply store but they cost a lot more to run.

Yes. I have it hooked up under foam tube insulation. Keeps my water hose from freezing in the winter. Doesn't really get hot, just slightly above freezing.

It will operate to temperatures down to 50 degrees! I believe and it does have an auto defrost feature. I love my unit, especially the pump which allows me to drain the water into a sink. The only problem I had with this unit was leakage at the drain hose connection but easily corrected that by removing the plastic connector and inserting the hose further into the drain hole. I highly recommend this product.

II live in lower northeast Pa and heat a 600 sq ft well insulated garage with this heater. In real cold weather it takes a couple hours to bring the temp up from approx. 40 degrees, but once there, it holds it well at 70 degrees. Usually have to set it back to 2/3's to keep temp at 70. Mine does not have a thermostat but I only use it when I'm working in the garage so it is not a problem. I'm not sure if a thermostat is available with this unit.
