This is a simple way to keep water flowing through the hose during the winter. The article is from The New Lighter Life and they did the hose this way for water to their RV for the winter but this could also work for livestock, backyard chickens and other outdoor pets. You could fill all the water dishes and troughs without having to lug water. The heat tape warms the hose so it won’t freeze. Sometimes simple really is better.
