SW those must not be the ones with the balls? 2 of the 3 dealers here reccomend the Ritchys that have the balls in them...but they are ALOT more money that the Behlens.

He swore by it, said this bubbling action would prevent freezing. I haven't heard of this since. Has anyone else???

Think about this: Propane gas merrily bubbling it's way up through the H20 - A cigarette spark or a hot chunk of carbon out of an exhaust pipe of a tractor or pickup tumbling it's way ACROSS the top of the water tank - and - - - P-H-F-L-U-U-U-M-M-B - - -The cow jumped Over the MOON!Heifer said:PPRM said:I also talked to a guy from Colorado once.

This sounds interesting, if a fine enough line could give enough pressure to bubble without using tank after tank of propane. At - 47 C, though, propane gels too much. :shock: Some neighbours with propane need to have wood backup for the colder days, cause their propane won't work. We hope we won't have many days at that temp, though!
