I purchased a set after watching your video last year. Kept one and gave the other to my dad. He has purchased many for some of the buildings and project sites he works with in town. My bestfriend, uncle, grandfather, and a few other friends all use them now! Thank you so much for sharing these in your channel!
This could literally save you thousands on plumbing repairs. It will keep your outside pipes from freezing during cold weather. It has saved me from multiple Plumbing problems in the last 2 or 3 years, and I think it's something you should consider.

It was 8° here and my pipe bursted. My wonderful family made the repairs for me. And I shut my water off at the meter, but I didn't get all my water in the lines drained out.
Thanks for sharing this, but for $30 bucks each, I'll stick with what I've done all my life and that is, all my outside bibs are on isolation circuits, which I drain when hard freezes come a callin'. I also have a circulation pump on a loop for water within the footprint of my building, which keeps the trapped water moving. So far, so good.
Once again and still pondering on getting one of these. That freezer test makes me wonder something. Once you put yours in the freezer for an hour or so and then hooked it up immediatly afterwards, the water looked to be pouring full force! through the miser. This leads me to imagine that if the temp outside get as cold as your freezer was set to, the miser will also allow THAT much water through at the rate you show after it being in your freezer.....that seems way overly excessive to me. You would wake up to an ice rink in your yard from all that water! What am I missing? Thanks
It is much more excessive when it comes out of the freezer for some reason. When it’s really cold outside, it doesn’t run quite that fast. I’ve seen videos of people in Wisconsin that theirs was just dripping heavily… Not running very fast.
@@BIGALTX I'm sure that's right. thanks and glad you noticed that excessive post-freezer water. That strong drip is enough i i trust this gizmo will get the job done. thanks again
I think the freeze miser will have to be connected so that water running through the freeze miser comes through all the hoses, Y’s, and everything else. The water HAS to keep flowing through anything that’s gonna freeze.
Sure. If it’s cold enough, the water will be running a little and the bucket will fill up. I usually keep a bucket under mine all the time. If it’s not running, then all you have to do is unscrew the freeze miser, and use the hose as you normally would.
@@beauxtx1959 I don't put mine on the faucet... I put a HOSE on the faucet and the Freeze Miser on the end of the hose. Then I place the hose wherever I want the water to exit
hmm. i still don't get it. freezing starts a 32 degrees and you say the miser begins to trickle you water at 37 degrees? isn't that wasting more water? Shoukn't the miser kick on at like 34 derees? thanks
That is just how they designed it to work. Maybe it has something to do with windchill. Also protecting the pipes if the wind is blowing… Not sure. But it does work.
@@KingdomUploader I think you'll like them. I used several of them all through the cold weather we just went through. I'll leave them hooked up till spring.
@@filoIII From a Google search: "Yes, wind chill can affect water pipes. Wind chill speeds up the rate at which inanimate objects, like water pipes, cool, but they won't cool below the actual air temperature. For example, if the temperature outside is -5°F and the wind chill is -31°F, the water pipes won't drop below -5°F. However, wind chill can increase the risk of pipes freezing, especially if the pipes are exposed to the elements or are in unheated areas. Other factors that can contribute to frozen pipes include: Inadequate insulation, Inadequate heating, and A severe drop in temperature to below 32°F."

Used in the icemagedon and this year, you are correct on test and use of. Be interesting to see the new product in a few weeks from you.
That is awesome!

can you use this on a Y and have one side hose connected to the trailer and the other side of the Y with the Miser?
I think the freeze miser will have to be connected so that water running through the freeze miser comes through all the hoses, Y’s, and everything else. The water HAS to keep flowing through anything that’s gonna freeze.
How about if you want to use the hose to fill bucket up
Sure. If it’s cold enough, the water will be running a little and the bucket will fill up. I usually keep a bucket under mine all the time.
If it’s not running, then all you have to do is unscrew the freeze miser, and use the hose as you normally would.
So it will have to be removed to fill up water feeders, Is this correct.
Yes... just screws off and back on...
I love mine. Just wish it had a hose connector so that I could direct where the water goes.
Just put it on the end of a hose like this
That way you can place the end of the hose where you want the water directed
@@BIGALTX Like what? I don't see an illustration/photo

@@BIGALTX Wind chill has nothing to do w/ water icing up.

@@BIGALTX Thx. what I was getting at is a 34* temp w/ a -20 wind chill will not freeze the pipes.
