Store-bought heated hoses do not heat nor protect the spigot from freezing, don't waste what money you have available.I was wondering when choosing my hoses if it's smarter to buy all my hoses heated instead of insulating them winter , can I use them year round and just turn the heat on during winter? Also, I've seen levelers for the tires (the ramp looking ones) are these recommended and do I get 4 of them so each tire has one? Also what is the most sturdy thing to use for leveling , cinderblocks or?
Buy a fresh water hose just long enough and insulate it yourself, then leave about 2 feet of heat tape on the spigot end so you can wrap it around the spigot to protect it from freezing. Cover the hose and heat tape with foam pipe insulation.
