If you live in an area where the water supply is known for freezing, then a frost-free faucet may be worth the extra expense. These faucets have a mechanism inside them that allows the water to drain out of the faucet before it has a chance to freeze, which can save you from having to thaw out a frozen faucet or replace a broken one.
If you have a problem with your outdoor faucets freezing, you may want to consider getting a faucet that is designed to resist freezing. These types of faucets are available from many manufacturers, and they can be a great way to keep your outdoor faucets from freezing and bursting.
If your outdoor faucet has a handle that can be turned to the “on†position, then it is likely a frost-free faucet. These types of faucets are designed to prevent freezing, even in the coldest weather. To test if your faucet is frost-free, simply turn on the water and see if it flows freely. If the water flow is restricted or if the handle is difficult to turn, then it is likely that your faucet is frozen and will need to be thawed out before use.
If your outside faucet is freezing, there are a few things you can do to try to stop it. One is to wrap the faucet in insulation. This will help keep the heat in and the cold out. Another option is to use a space heater or hairdryer to thaw the frozen faucet. You can also try turning up the heat in your home, which will help thaw the frozen faucet.

These outdoor spigot covers are exactly what I was looking for to swap out the stiff Styrofoam ones we were using because they often wobbled and didn't fit snugly. These work well against the wall up close and securely cover the faucet as well. They come with a string tie and are quick and simple to attach to or remove from your faucet.These are a fantastic purchase at $9.99 for 2 faucet insulated coverings, free Prime shipping, and no sales tax.My wife had been considering a comparable item at our neighborhood home improvement store that cost the same but only came with one bag. Although we reside in Florida, wearing the other style and then taking it all off to have to put it back on when there is another freeze a few days later is really inconvenient.They should last for many years. The two-pack is perfect for my front and back faucets, but I need three, so I'll just need to get another set so I have a spare.

We adore these adorable "MITTENS." We don't see prolonged frost or cold here in South Carolina, but our water lines are less protected because of this. It felt good to slip on these simple-to-use "mittens" and know that, even if a Southern Winter decides to strike at any time, our faucets will be safe.If you live somewhere where winter lasts FOREVER, say up North or in the Mid West, I'm sure these would be a fantastic purchase. When we lived there, we were unaware of these "mittens"; it would have been preferable to wrap them like we did back home.Zip on, zip off. They are attractive, simple to use, and essentially attractive for what they are. (velco) These are a MUST DO everywhere there may be frosty spells. Small investment, large return

Had two exterior faucets start to leak in a cold spell with temperatures in the single digits. Fortunately, they did not cause serious damage, but it is clear that my protective measures of foam, plastic wrap, and a 13-gallon garbage container were insufficient. My faucets are 15" high and rise up from the ground; these thick insulating covers did the trick and prevented any further leaks. Have the faucets covered down to 12 degrees. Simple slip-on installation, but utilize a trash can if you have varmints or squirrels to prevent shredding.

I've had this particular style of faucet cover for a number of years, however after around 8 to 10 years, it was time to replace them. They're excellent! These are superior to my previous ones since they have long velcro straps instead of the strings I had and are extra deep to cover the full faucet. My previous sock was insufficient to cover the last length of pipe because I had one faucet that protruded further from the wall. One of these completely encircled the faucet! There is no doubt about that. When the weather becomes chilly, you'll put these on, so get to it as soon as you can. These greatly simplify the task.

I'm not sure what earlier reviews meant when they claimed that the product's image here didn't match; as of December 10, 2016, it did. When I knew it was going to get cold, I ordered two of these for a new house (new house has a crawl space rather then basement and turnoff valves would be be hard to get to). These items are essentially bell-shaped, with a layer of foam at the bottom and a bottom that is more rectangular than square. The top has a cord that runs through it, and the interior of the cord has a loop. You just hook the inside loop over the end of the faucet (where you attach the hose) and pull the cord to tighten the fittings until the foam at the bottom of the bells contracts. I'm done now. The apparatus will be fastened and shield the faucet from the outdoors.For me, a quality item at a reasonable cost. I anticipate using these for a few years because they look to be rather durable.

I've owned this device through a harsh winter in North Eastern Illinois and a wacky spring in Ohio. Given the numerous issues I had with heated water hoses freezing, sewer pipes accumulating water dams, and freezing such that I was unable to trickle to prevent the hoses from freezing, etc., I'm going to assume that it has frozen at least a few hundred times, if not more. Probably spent $1,000 this winter trying to stay warm and prevent the pipes for the water and sewer system from freezing. Even though it was one of my cheapest purchases, this gadget consistently worked. The on/off levers still work simply and smoothly, and as far as these gadgets go, this one is the nicest and longest-lasting I've ever owned. It still doesn't leak a drop. I would strongly advise it because it is worth twice what I spent for it.

Okay, so I thought, "What the heck, I don't need ANOTHER device, especially to help with switching out hoses and attachments around the yard." Boy, was I mistaken. Working in the garden has become much faster and more convenient thanks to this approach. When you unplug an attachment, the water stops flowing. changing the sprinkler with a portable sprayer? NO ISSUE. The hose doesn't even need to be turned off. And they haven't leaked yet! These have made it easier for us to manage our continuously expanding outdoor garden with numerous hoses and other water dispersing tools. Take a chance; you won't regret it.

Construction workers frequently believe it is acceptable to use residents' water, therefore I needed a lock for the tap outside my garage.Around my home, there is construction going on, and I've seen people using my faucet to draw water for their tools or to clean them off. I've previously voiced my displeasure to the foreman, but I prefer to resolve the situation on my own.This faucet lock operates flawlessly. In order for it to be Prime, I selected a separate keyed option, but when I received the lock, both keys had the same code. If that was an error, I suppose I was lucky.Simple to operate; after screwing the lock onto your faucet, turn the key a half turn in the clockwise direction to lock or unlock the cylinder. This makes it impossible for anyone to remove it because the lock will continue to revolve. Insert the key to unlock, then spin it counterclockwise a half turn to remove. This time, it prevents the cylinder from turning freely, enabling you to remove the lock from the faucet.Overall, the lock is well made and performs admirably. If your faucet is outside and can be accessed by unkind neighbors or construction workers, like in my situation, I would highly recommend this lock.
To winterize your outdoor faucets, you will need to disconnect them from the water supply and drain them completely. Once they are dry, you can either wrap them in insulating material or store them indoors.
It typically costs between $125 and $150 to replace an outdoor faucet. This does not include the cost of the actual faucet, which can range from $25 to $100. The total cost will also depend on the complexity of the job and the number of faucets being replaced.
It is better to drip faucets to prevent water pipes from freezing.
It's better to drip outside faucets during cold weather because it can help prevent your pipes from freezing. If your pipes do freeze, dripping water can help thaw them.
When the temperatures outside dip below freezing, it's important to take measures to protect your home's plumbing. One way to do this is to wrap your outside faucets in insulation. This will help to keep the water inside the pipes from freezing. Another option is to let your outside faucets drip. This can help to prevent the water in the pipes from freezing and causing a rupture. Which method you choose is up to you, but both can be effective in protecting your plumbing during cold weather.
If you live in an area where temperatures regularly dip below freezing, you should absolutely take the time to drip your outside faucets. Doing so can help prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting, which can cause extensive (and expensive) damage to your home.
