Could not find a better Topic area to put this, pls move it if necessary.
Im experiencing two different views on the topic of cold weather freezing external water pipes.
1. If the temp dips below 32 after about 6pm and the next morning the temp starts to rise consistently to above 32 for the rest of the day, and does this for each
day of the period in question, there is no need to go to any extravagant measures to protect any part of your system from freezing to a degree that is likely to cause damage. OR;
2. If the temp drops to 32 or below and stays that way for 4 or more consecutive hours, (no other criteria was provided) take the following measures; 1,2,3,4,5, etc,
Pls advise your thoughts and especially those who have had practical experience in this area. TYIA
