Default Re: Spring........and electric blankets on the A

Additional alternatives.


You could always run antifreeze in the cooler/cold weather and once it warms up drain it/save it for reuse, and run your water/waterwetter in warmer weather. This would give you cold weather protection all winter. It is so easy to drain, not much trouble. Plus you have anticorrosion protection all winter, if not in a heated garage you can get some condensation from temperature swings.


Or perhaps an oil dipstick heater set up on a thermostat. Personally I do not like electrical stuff plugged in/unattended.


I do not want to post my views on distilled water vs. antifreeze - too many strong opinions. Sort of like asking what is the best oil, just best not to go there.
