Heated wate hose. what brand to use or not to use

I use a heat tape and black pipe insulation. Wire tie the heat tape to the hose and the frost free and then wrap then wire tie the black pipe insulationto the hose, works great has never froze. The problem with a heated hoce is your frost free and all the fittings are still exposed. If yo do use a heated hose be sure to protect the fittings and you water source.
