Immersion heater tape in pot water

Immersion heater tape in pot water

(OP)
Has anyone had experience using heating elements directly inserted into water supply piping to prevent freezing?  Anyone experienced adverse effects on the quality of the water?
There is a product furnished by Tyco Thermo Controls that is similar to heater tape but is inserted into the pipe, size ranges from 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch.  Marketed for potable water.  Could be a very useful item here in Massachusetts but I really don't want to do research on my customer's drinking water.
