Don't miss this comment by the builder:
DESIGN CHANGE WARNING: The temps have dipped into the high teens here in Virginia...and the nipples as well as the water in the Brite Tap froze! The water above the heater did not freeze, proving the fact that warm water rises, but the T-shaped design and location of the Brite Tap (below the heat source) must make it just too isolated to keep from freezing. I was able to unfreeze it by covering the Brite Tap and the elbow going to it with pipe insulation and cranking the aquarium heater to full blast, but I'm afraid it still must go. I will be replacing the Brite Tap with a length of regular PVC pipe with nipples tapped in, which will allow me to place the aquarium heater directly over the nipples. This should prevent any freeze-ups. I may need a second heater higher up in the waterer, but we'll wait and see if that is necessary. Live and learn!
