On one hand, a good spigot can prevent freezing, if the other side of it is a heated building, because the valve seat is deep enough that it remains warm and the area past it is dry. On the other hand, a good well pump will detect that you have a water leak and automatically drop its output pressure in an attempt minimize the leak. The hose that you allowed to freeze solid on the ground indicates that you're just chasing any old gimmick without any practical reasoning whatsoever.
You’re correct but by looking at the angle of the spigot handle it appears he doesn’t have the “frost free” type. The handle on a frost free spigot points straight out whereas the others point upwards as pictured here.
I use these. They work great…
Does it flow steady? Mine just runs water all night. In a few hours it drained over 40 gallons.
Amazon reviewers report that a percentage them work as advertised and some just run freely all the time. I guess you have to return the faulty ones.
@@mguerramd seems like it. I’m actually not using it anymore. Seemed like a good idea until actual use.
