What works best? And' how do you keep things from freezing? I just finished fixing my auto waterers that froze and a couple of valves that are shot from the swelling. Have galvanized pipe now. Really interested in what works for you folks cause it doesn't get near as cold here.
Thinking about using the black PVC and heat band (on a thermostat) and just insulating and puttind a PVC Jacket (3 inch or so) on the drops.
