We are in NC and will be leaving for FL sometime around Christmas. Our forecast is for some mid 20 degree weather next week. If I run the furnace during these cold days will that eliminate my freeze ...
I would put a 100 watt, if available bulb in a drop cor with metal housing. Suspend it away from walls etc. It should keep the wet bay from freezing by a good margin. The furnaces will heat the bays and pipes and some into the wet bay, at least on ours. Just disconnect the hose to fresh water when below freezing unless it is a heated hose. I've been ssying for ages we need to buy one of the heated hoses, wil right after it is needed, I guess.
