For those that worry about freezing pipes

[Sarg]

We live in a mobile home and our well line comes up through the slab. We have always had concerns about freezing because winter does bring below zero temperatures here. The entry line has heat tape and insulation but I've always had concerns about leaving it plugged in all winter during the "above freezing" spells.
Then a couple years ago I found about about these outlets.

Farm Innovators TC-3 Cold Weather Thermo Cube Thermostatically Controlled Outlet - On at 35-Degrees/Off at 45-Degrees

My dad wired in a thermostat to the outlet that controlled the heat tape.. looks like a simpler version of that design.

And just another idea ............ You can buy a indoor / outdoor wireless thermometer with multiple remotes for under $25. I have the base in the kitchen ... one remote outside and one next to the water piping.
