The freeze free hose is pretty expensive so I was curious as to whether it is popular or not.
Thanks.
I had to change undies (Well not really) when I read the price on that hose.
I now have two summer and one winter hose which I'm no longer using.
(I will tell you how I do it in winter)
The winter hose.. I went to BIG LOTS and got a string of Rope Lights. these were NOT LED but the good old fashing incandascant. Each lithe is just a couple watts.
I got a couple rolls of "Fancy" Duct Tape (Zebra pattern currently used to be polka dots) and taped the rope light to the water hose.
A thermostatic outlet adapter turns 'em on long about 35 Degrees. Real cute when the hose lights up.
How I do it.
Fill the on board fresh tank ...Disconnect and drain the hose.
