I purchased this heat cable for my well house pipes. We have had below freezing weather since installation and it performed well. I look forward to water flowing all winter long.

Would RecommendBetter heat tape than a broken pipe. Where is the self regulating blue, cut to length heat tape?

May work in some situations
Would Not RecommendPlumbing run to second floor goes through a small section that is uninsulated between basement foundation and first floor resulting in multiple occasions where pipe will freeze. Cooper in basement and transitions to PEX beginning on 1st and continues throughout. Purchased this to prevent this winter's severe cold temps resulting in additional freeze and while it may work where ambient air stays below 38 degrees (the temp where it kicks on to provide heat necessary), my field stone foundation ba...
Lifesaver
Would RecommendFirst let me say it worked in less than two hours. While waiting I called technical support to ask how long it would take to thaw my frozen pipe. I was told that the product was not designed to thaw pipes, only prevent them from freezing. Sixty minutes later the sound of flowing water met my ears. This product WILL thaw a frozen pipe in an unheated crawl space with an outside temp of 17F. You will need to purchase a roll of electric tape to secure the wire to the pipe.
Saved a Spring Bundle - Frozen Sprinkler Sys.
Would RecommendI forget to shutoff and drain the front yard Rain bird sprinkler system until the wife noticed a garden hose still on the valve out near the street.

I installed it per the instructions and wrapped a towel around everything and covered it with a cardboard box. The next morning everything was thawed and I drained the garden hose and system. No cracked pipe or valve this year. Wo...

Pipe savers!
Would RecommendThese heating cords are pipe savers for sure! Thanks to the extreme cold we have had recently, I have had several frozen water pipes. No one wants to try to fix plumbing issues when it's -10 outside. After fixing the first busted pipes, I invested in three heat cords. Easy to attach to your plumbing. I have them at both ends of my house(which seem to be my trouble spots), and have one for my drain also. Overkill? Maybe, but I won't have to worry about playing in the ice water to fix a busted pip...
