In a previous post you stated that a fully charged battery would freeze at -60F.
I said ABOUT -6OF....and if it is not quite fully charged that might be the magic number.
I'm not going to argue with you about other things because my only quibble is your statement that "moving water won't freeze". That is patently absurd.
Wrong again: I did not make that statement, DSDO Don did.
Read more carefully.
It is not " an old wives tail". It can freeze but it takes much takes longer because the molecules are moving faster and the cold water is being replaced with warmer water continuously. Letting a faucet drip allows the water to be in continuous motion slowing down the freezing process and can keep pipes from freezing. The same reason rivers freeze over but the river continues to run.
I guess you must now also agree that P-traps can freeze and rupture.
