Is this freeze proof in the sense that it will not burst if I leave water in it during the winter (outdoors)? My garage plumbing fixture is heated.

Is this" The "Don Mattingly(formally of the Yankees )? Either way, I would never leave water in a hose in the winter, unless your winter's don't go below freezing? Adam

I live in Milwaukee and the temps dropped to - 20 last winter and any water in the pipe freezes. It can freeze solid if enough water is in the pipe.

Yes but don't leave your hose connected with the water left on in freezing weather.

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

If you leave this heater in a garage when it gets to 12 degrees F outside, it will be destroyed. Ask me how I know this. I am getting ready to order a new one. You absolutely have to protect it from freezing.

It is rather stiff tubing that I buried in several places. Not sure that it would withstand freezing in winter but other than that I would bury it. It uses barb type connectors, any hardware store would have adapters to match any tubing size to any other size.

I have not experienced this model in the winter since it was purchased in the warmer months but I imagine with the outer insulation around the tubing it should not freeze up as fast as the previous model I still own. The previous model with the insulation around the tubing would freeze up in the winter months. I kept it in my car at all times as a water source.

We live in the Pacific NW so freezing is not really an issue here as it rarely drops below zero. We have ours stored in the garage and didn't have any problems over the winter.

HelloThe unit you are inquiring about is an INDOOR unit - but in case you leave the house unattended, and it might be exposed to temperatures below freezing: You should inquire with the manufacturer, Tagaki Toll Free: 888.882.5244My hunch is that if the house is unattended during freeze temperatures, the pipes would have an issue as well. Please call the manufacturer and be consulted for what is best in your specific situation. Regards, Buy and Large Inc

I would think it freeze in cold weather as it is plastic. mine is in the garage.

I live in south Texas so it freezes very little. I would drain them for winter living here or up north. The water in them would expand if frozen and could cause damage. I leave mine outside all the time and would if I lived back in Michigan also. These are very sturdy.

Mine has never frozen. I live in NH, Temps do drop to 0 but do not stay there for a long time. The waterer is in the coop not outside. I am going to purchase another one.

you would not want to have water freeze in the barrel as it would more than likely split the seams. We live in Iowa where the temps get to -20 so we just drain the barrel at end of Fall and store it in our storage shed til Spring. Hope this helps.

If it was left out in garage over the winter water in it may have cracked the pump. You must bring it in to basement or somewhere that doesn't get below 32 degrees

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.

I've had the unit for about 6 months. It can be exposed to weather, but there are consequences. Mine had what was probably a very small leak out of the factory. After a big freeze, even after draining the unit this turned into a large leak. I patched it and am crossing my fingers. In the future when draining it I'll leave the drain plug off and hope that more cracks don't appear. There are a lot of small spaces in the unit where water will remain even after draining, so any deep freeze might be a problem. And I cover it to protect it from direct sun when not in use.

I used heat tape to keep the outside faucet from freezing. I did wrap foam pipe insulation around it to keep heat in, but it was not weather tight.
