I made my own with the regular hose for water 10' long. A simple google shows how its done.
My 110v heat tape had a thermostat.....a very thick noodle.....wrapped with several more layers of rolled insulation.....a layer of visqueen for keeping water out.... final wrapped with duct tape so its sheds water.
No problems all winter with it laying on the ground with -3 degree temps and 38-40mph winds.
This was 22 years ago and store bought heated hoses wasn't much back then. Much depends on winter where you will be.
