Re: Freezing Indian pumps
You can also get those little chemical hand-warmer packets and
drop them into the tanks. Another solution is to add salt to the water - this
can drop the freezing point to 26 degrees or so. Of course, the salt will
hasten
the corrosion process, but a thorough rinsing afterwards will help. You can
also buy the plastic varieties, which will significanlty decrease the
heat exchange rate.
