lol easy, I'm a beginner. I didn't realize the stuff was sticky.
So basically my only options are
1.) completely evacuate the whole plumbing system each time it goes below freezing
or
2.) find a power source to heat the pump, pipes, etc for the nights it gets below freezing?
The problem with option 1 is I've read that even a drop of water can break a fixture, so it sounds risky.
So if 2 is all I can do, what's the lowest wattage pipe heater/heat tape out there? The Highlander and other Toyota hybrids have a feature where you can leave it "on" and lock it it will run on battery power. The engine will start every once in a while briefly to charge the battery back up. I suppose if I turn everything off and just have a heat tape running of the 12V battery, it could probably run off the battery for 6 hours or so before the engine would start.
