I'm on a farm, and I have to fill water tanks for livestock in the
winter. That means keeping hoses in the house, then dragging them
outdoors to fill tanks, and as soon as they get cold, they get real
stiff and are a big pain to use.

I've commented before but will again...you're looking for a solution to
the wrong problem--the answer is to run water lines to one or a set of
waterers instead.



sheesh, just bring the animals into the house!

I forget where you are located or if you've ever indicated but if you're
interested, we've downsized/retired and I've several Ritchie waterers
that I've decided may as well finally sell, keeping only one in the main
lot and perhaps another in one of the cutting pens. That leaves three
could part with. They're older but fully functional with only a
replacement float probably required. They have 110V heaters so don't
even have to break ice...
