Prevent PVC pipes from freezing and solution

In winter, PVC pipe is easy to freeze at low temperature. If you do not take proper measures, water can not be supplied normally. So, how to prevent PVC pipes from freezing?

First, you can wrap PVC pipes with linen fabric or foam. For water meter, it is ok to bury with sand, sawdust, pine needles and other appropriate buried, so that to keep it warm. When the temperature dropping at night, you can open water tap to let water flow, it will not freeze the water pipe, but the water a little waste. It is better for you to store the water for further use. 

Once the PVC pipe is frozen, how to solve it? Some people are likely to pour hot water, in fact, doing so is more likely to cause water pipes burst. If the frozen pipe is only 50 cm or so, you can change it for a new pipe. If it is long, you have to let it unfreeze naturally. Another way is to wrap the PVC pipe with a tower and slowly pour with warm water. Do not use hot water or make it near fire, that will make your water pipe break easily.
