I got this to use over the winter in case we ended up with frozen pipes in our travel trailer. Instead, one of my mother's pipes in her house froze! My fiance wrapped the pipe in this bad boy and OH MAN did it work. It actually worked a little too well, because after about 20 minutes, it had heated up to the point that we were worried and it melting/damaging the pipe (it was PVC), so we unwrapped it and used a space heater under the house. We kept it on tap just in case, but it made us a little nervous 😂I would definitely recommend it!

Although the description page shows this cable as mostly for use as a gutter de-icer, I can tell you that it works well on pipes also. I have a laundry room that always has trouble with frozen drain pipes. Let me tell you, it is real trouble when the drain is frozen and it takes much longer to defrost than supply pipes. Anyway, this works great for those pipes. I just determined where the coldest area of the pipe run was, then mounted this cable right to the pipe with cable ties. We've had some very cold days and so far, so good. I am a stickler for safety, too, so I keep checking to make sure everything is not overheating....again, so far, so good. The fact that there's no thermostat is not a big problem since it only heats to 65 degrees f. I'd still always make sure you can cut off the power remotely just in case. But just know that this cable isn't just for gutters...it's working well to avoid freezing pipes, too!

I acquired this cable for two specific needs. First, my house faces north, and the top half of my driveway never gets any of the low winter sun. When we get ice, or slushy snow quickly turns to ice, I have no prayer of clearing my driveway without resorting to chemicals (which I don’t like to use because of my dogs). Second, I have a roofed-over deck on the south side of my house where my dogs relieve themselves in a litter box or in the woodchip beds just off the deck. So I need to keep the woodchip beds clear of snow and have been resorting to using buckets of hot water. I thought this cable would help me with both tasks, and I was finally able to put it to the test this week with melting the snow in my woodchip beds. Bottom line: it just didn’t work.Here’s the set-up: there was about 1 inch of very light, fluffy snow on top of the woodchips. The ambient air temperature was 26 degrees; there was no wind or wind chill. I placed the cable down onto and into the snow at 1:30 pm. See the photos for a step-by-step progression of testing the cable:Photo 1: 1:30 pm: before placing the cable downPhoto 2: 1:30 pm: placed cable downPhoto 3: 3:45 pm (2 hours 15 minutes later): a little snow was melted right next to the cable.Photo 4: 3:45 pm: I rearranged the cable and pushed it into the snow more.Photo 5: 4:30 pm: a little more snow melted.Photo 6: 6:30 pm (5 hours later): there’s still a bunch of snow on the woodchips.Photo 7: 8:30 pm (7 hours later): I gave up. Pulled the cable out and melted the snow with two buckets of hot water.And just to be sure, see photo 8: I held an instant read thermometer up to the cable. It registered 71 degrees, so the cable was certainly working. But after 7 hours, it couldn’t melt the inch of light, fluffy snow. It melted only about a one-inch ribbon of the snow that bordered the cable. Anywhere else, the cable just does not produce enough heat to melt anything. And let me add: woodchips on the warm earth are going to be much warmer than the shingles on the top of your A-frame roof. So I just don’t see it working on the roof line. In a gutter, it might work better since the gutter is narrow and aluminum conducts heat more freely. But it does not work for my needs.

OK so living down south we don't really get any snow or ice on the roof but it does get cold now and then, cold enough so that the well pump can freeze. In the past we've set up these rinky-dink tents and whatnot with light bulbs in them to keep things above 32 degrees but those were always a hassle.Brainstorm this year is taking the deicing cable and wrapping it around the tank, then connecting it to a temperature-controlled outlet that powers it up when it gets cold and shuts it off when it gets warm. Keep the tank warm, keeps the water from freezing and hopefully radiates enough for the above ground pipes.The 30-foot length was sufficient to cover pretty much the whole tank as the photo shows. We're not quite into the freezing temps so for now we're making sure the tape strips used to affix the cable hold up. So far so good! Will report back if anything goes sideways.
