Thought we weren't gonna start ours yesterday as the water intake pipe was frosted over. Put the hot box on and it was fine.
AF being bought tomorrow.

I pulled up at a job once with my pipes frozen and ended up getting the customer to boil the kettle a few times! ntifreeze since then, althouh I had a smaller machine once where I could turn it on it's side to drian the pump which worked a treat

Leaving the trapped pressure in the line.

Broke a few inlet filters in the pumps too. You know, the cast one's when trying to free off the pipe.
