Thanks Folks.
Guess I should have been more specific. The water line feeds automatic waters (bowls) in open horse stalls that don't hold body heat. I've been keeping up with it by turning everything off and opening valves when temps go below freezing. Just snuck up on me this year and made a mess. Temps usually don't get below 20f here (except the little spat of global warming dropped them to 15 for a few days) overnight and a couple of days in Jan. I've got PVC for the supply and a 150ft heat tape w/ thermostat. I like the flex drops though and will probably use the idea.
When I have nothing else to spend money on or if temps continue to stay below freezing, there is a setup available that you run your supply line continuously through drink bowls (no limit) and back to the starting point. When temps hit freezing a circulation pump kicks on every hour or so. When temps get way down, a heating element kicks in. About a thousand bucks but getting cheaper each year.
