Where it is not desirable or possible to bury below the frost line, no other product can match the performance or reliability. Non metallic pipes and metal pipes can be safely protected and can be completely insulated for energy efficiency and reliability even in the coldest climates. EXT5 can be used to externally trace water pipes and risers to drinking bowls and stalls. With winter sports and tourism on the rise and frozen pipes a thing of the past, seasonal resorts can become year round. The benefit of self-regulation is that unlike resistance wire or zone heaters there is no worry about under heating or over heating.
Heat is supplied only where and when needed.
With the use of pipe insulation heat is retained and energy costs are kept to a minimum. Example, supply lines into lakes or rivers. Example, water supply lines to barns and livestock. Applications include farms and exposed metalic or non-metalic pipes. A thermostat will duty cycle the system saving energy on the down side.
