Incoming Water Temps
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 8:22 pm
Back into m/h living with my 5k retirement special. It's surrounded by woods and a trout stream down the bank on two sides. I had 9 belly holes to repair and switched to pex while I was under there. I wrapped 3/4 in house wrap/plastic before the skirting was out on. I ran a switch and added a box extension so I can turn the heat tape on from inside. I also put an outdoor temp probe in the water meter casing. The coldest we got here in south central Pa has been in the 20's with a nw windchill. I noticed the lowest temp from the probe during that time was 48 degrees. I have an alarm set if the temp gets close to freezing so I can power up the heat tape. Any one else monitoring the temps down below ? I added water alarms in two spots of the belly and next year might put one at the meter. Thanks and God bless.
