How well does this faucet withstand freezing temperatures?

I can't be of much help, since I live in southern Arizona. We have had only two or three nights of freezing temperatures, and the lowest was probably 27 or 28 degrees F. The faucet I have still works fine following those events.

here in southeast texas we only have a few freezes a year. i have had no issues though. any faucet that is metal, will need to be wrapped in any extensive freezing environment. plastic even more so.

It was the wrong thing ... (again) better to just have a plumber come over and replace with the new handle model. I have no more issues with either.

No. We live in cold MT and have never had problems. Our 1st Brower lasted 21 or 22 years and we have hard water.

Never bothered to do anything other than make sure all the water has been drained out of the unit and leave the drain plug out. Sits in the garage over the winter and it easily goes below freezing during the colder months. Never had an issue in over 20+ years.

I have not had any problems with this faucet. I would check your installation.

Mine won't because I have mine run through an uninsulated, unprotected water hose - I expect that if water can reach the Lixit it will work just fine. My guess is that unless you have a heated exterior faucet or live in a part of the country that stays below freezing most of the winter, this will be more of a warm weather / warm day solution.

I don't recall but I have never had any issues with it freezing up. I ran it for 3 months without turning it off except to clean the filter and no issues.

If you are hooked up to city water and leave a faucet dripping it shouldn't freeze unless way below freezing. I have done the same in 20 degree temps and didn't have a problem. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems, but we don't have particularly hard water here. I've had this thing for at least a couple of years now, and it's still working very well.

I don't know why it wouldn't work just fine in hot weather, I leave it on the faucet in the summer when there are some 100 degree days. However, in the winter, I remove it and cover my outside faucets with the foam cups so they won't freeze.

I live in Southern Texas so have really never had any trouble with it freezing. I just have foam and duck tape around the pipe it is attached to.

Nope! No problems yet. Had it 1 year and it's great. Love my beautiful faucet.

We have had no problems at all with it and it has been well below freezing. Our door is under a protected porch so does not get iced over.

Anything above the freezing temperature of the liquid you are using will work. I have used this pump with water from 50degF to 150degF without issues

Yes, no problem. We have had them on the house for over 3 years and water, snow, ice is not an issue.

I have had this faucet for 2 years now and have not had a bit of trouble. The wing nuts are still snug.

It has handled the winter weather fine,filled up with water and when the temperatures dipped into freezing all it did was freeze,definately going to be buying another one

I live in south Texas so it freezes very little. I would drain them for winter living here or up north. The water in them would expand if frozen and could cause damage. I leave mine outside all the time and would if I lived back in Michigan also. These are very sturdy.
