I grew up in Iowa on a farm that when the water line in the ground was put
in was not deep enough in spots. On the coldest nights Dad would leave the
water tap on just a crack so that the pump would come on a few times a
night. Seemed to solve the issues on the really cold nights.

I have adopted that as a stop gap at the moment.

If your going to use electric heat tape. Make sure you insulate over the
tape and pipe. It might help the run time on the electric.

Thanks.
