can this be used in a residential fountain the northest to keep the pvc lines from freezing and ice from forming on the rocks?

We use it in our hot water solar system on the house. I would ask definitely at a pool place or a place that sells fountains.

Camco makes several different antifreezes which may be better suited for your needs. I suggest looking at Camco 30054 Pool Antifreeze Concentrate. It is cheaper and the mix ratio is the same.

We use the boiler antifreeze in a RV agua-hot system. Can't say if it would work for you or not.

Henry, I am a plumber in SC. Very few areas in SC get cold enough to be overly concerned about the unit. We do get cold, but it usually isn't sustained long enough to be a serious issue. These units can freeze under the right conditions, but they do have a small electric element to try and prevent it. If the unit is going to be in the shade all day, and we aren't going to warm up for a few days, covering it would be a good idea. If you are only going to be below freezing for the night, and the sun shines on your unit, I would fret over it.

This does not produce a lot of heat. It heats up just enough to keep things freezing. I keep mine wraped in foam insulation on my pond pipes. I think you would be fine

I attach these to my outside faucets to somewhat purify my dogs water. In the winter, I completely take them off and wrap my hydrants. Sorry that I could be more help. I would figure they would freeze though unless you alowed a large amount of water to flow through them.

no you can do that because cold water inlet inside is normal pvc for cold no for hot water

Anything above the freezing temperature of the liquid you are using will work. I have used this pump with water from 50degF to 150degF without issues

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

Mine is outside all winter long to keep my water troughs from freezing. No problem so far.

Yes but it would be really cold and I think uncomfortable to use. We hired a plumber and extended the water lines to our sink lines (hot and cold) as we didn't have a close hot water line either.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

I'm doing it. Even freezing temperature shouldn't effect it. It floats, keeps debris out, adds insulation, and it has been unaffected by two months in the water under our winter cover.

It means you can use it outside. It will NOT prevent the water from freezing. This is the best waterer we've ever used.

Sure, but you will have to let some of the tape hang out of the wrap. Get the shortest length they sell and wrap only part of it on the pipe. For safety reasons the manufacturer asks that you not overlap the tape, so you will only get a little on the faucet, but just that little bit, if inside some insulation and other tape to keep the insulation in place, will keep it from freezing unless you live north of the Arctic Circle.

If water does not get into the key way and freeze, it should work fine for outdoor use.

Yes it can be used anywhere you want to cool down. We actually put ice in the water to make it cool more.

Water is still liquid at 35º, so it will work just fine. My pump has not been out in freezing temps so far this year, but the literature says it has a thermal protection device to protect it. I will have to wait and see, but so far it works great.

I live in Texas so my fountain is outdoors all year. We only get a few days below freezing so it hasn't been a problem. It should be fairly level to prevent the water from spilling over the top. You don't have to worry about making it perfectly level. The pump is submerged.
