Water system... heated and cooled.....

[DaveOmak]

The heater is totally run on thermostat... and safe in a plastic bucket..... The pump, I attached 1/4" tubing to it and ran the tubing down the plastic pipe to the end of the pipe... It circulates warm water full length of the pipe.... has 2 speeds... Hasn't froze yet BUT... it should keep water flowing... I bought 2 so I would have a back up, in the event the pump died.... I think they were $7....

Here is an update...... The lid that screwed onto the water cooler had tendency to freeze in place from the moisture generated by the warm water..... Had to do something.... that was a PITA to try and get un frozen....

Below is my solution.....

Foam I covered in heavy plastic... and weighted down....

Is the tube from the pump going down into the pipe with the nipples...to circulate warm water right at the nipples?
