No Heating Cable Required
System B uses a pressurized Air Tank to purge water from the supply line below ice level. It does not require the use of a short piece of Heating Cable at the water source.
Ideal for Solar or Off-Grid Cottages
Since there is no heating cable required, this system is a good choice for cottages that are off-the-grid.
Proven
We have over 20 years experience specializing in cottage water systems with customers throughout Canada and the U.S.
Patented*
Our self-draining systems use patented, specially-designed valves to automatically drain the supply line, keeping the line from freezing during the winter.
How Does Self-Draining System B Work?
- The Submersible Pump turns on and pushes water up to the cottage.
- Air from the empty Supply Line escapes through the Self-Draining Air Valve into the Air Tank. The Pressure Tank fills with water.
- Once the Pressure Tank is full of water, the Pump shuts off and the Supply Line automatically drains back to the lake.
- The pressurized Air Tank purges the Supply Line below ice level. Because the line remains empty it does not need to be protected from freezing.
