[QUOTE="ratski, post: 3522490, member: 936"] So, noticed that the inside temp was dropping. Went up stairs and noticed that the drain pipe was moist. Turns out, the outside drain pipe is frozen. Not sure how much of the length is frozen, but... So, opened the upstairs stop and drained off a bunch of water. Problem is, I'm going to have to repeat this a bunch I'm sure. The heater tape obviously isn't keeping up with the temps!! Is there anything that I can put in the drain pipe to help unfreeze the water? It is obviously a gravity feed system, but I don't want to risk something backing up into the unit. Thanks Dave [/QUOTE]
