How to keep your water pipes from freezing during winter! Demonstration starts at 02:06, applying heating cable to the water hose, adding insulation and burying the pipe. I could not reach frost-free depth so the heating cable runs the entire length. The insulated water pump house build starts at 09:12 :)
