Hi all
What are people thoughts on open versus covered pump houses. I have one and it’s enclosed and insulated but not heated. I am putting a larger tank back there in the fall and I have to either expand the building or tear it down and just build a shelter over it leaving it covered and exposed on 1 side. During last season I never had the valve freeze on me, but if it got cold enough long enough I’m sure it would freeze. I have visited several operations as part of summer tours and find a variety of setups. What are people doing to help preventing the valve from freezing ?
Thoughts ?
