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.
