Bought a new Camco 50 foot heated water hose, was using it over the weekend, it was only 20 degrees outside and it froze up. I did have to use an extension cord to get power to the hose, but used a 12 gauge cord. The plug on the hose was always light up. The plug in end was at the camper, and seams to be where it froze. I connected it directly to the city water hook up.
What was I doing wrong? Box says keeps from freezing down to -20.
Is there a way to see if it is working?
The HOSE won't freeze due the heater being run the length of the hose..
BUT the ENDS (hose bib connections) of the hose are NOT HEATED so they WILL eventually freeze..
Also the heating elements in the hose will not protect the water inlet of the RV OR the actual campground FAUCET from freezing either..
Return it and get your money back.
