The one that we installed for a customer and client, as far as I know they have not had any issues at all with theirs! There faucet also is a frost free unit as well!

Mine is installed on a back wall of the house, in a semi sheltered alcove. It is not usually very cold in Columbus, GA and we have had no problems with it. I would hope there is a setting that would cause it to run a little to keep it from freezing.?? My wife lets the hot water drip just a little anytime that we expect sub 32 degree weather. Bob Behar

The original spigot is plastic with a silver coating. I purchased a ceramic spigot as a replacement/backup in case the original loses its seal from reviews I've read.

I don't use the spigot, I just have mine staked in the garden to hang the hose on. I looked and it doesn't look like you can easily remove the spigot but it's not really noticeable under the hose hanging on it. I do love the hanger, it looks good and is pretty sturdy.

The bottle is not supposed to be insulated, I haven't try with cold water yet. You can check Contigo Autoseal Martinique Double Wall Insulated which sells for 12 dollars.

Screw on. Just don't put the spigot under shear stress or it'll crack. Replacement parts are available, though, if you accidentally break something.

Henry, I am a plumber in SC. Very few areas in SC get cold enough to be overly concerned about the unit. We do get cold, but it usually isn't sustained long enough to be a serious issue. These units can freeze under the right conditions, but they do have a small electric element to try and prevent it. If the unit is going to be in the shade all day, and we aren't going to warm up for a few days, covering it would be a good idea. If you are only going to be below freezing for the night, and the sun shines on your unit, I would fret over it.

You don't as far as I know. There is a screen so nothing bigger then 1-2cm gets inside. If you want to flush it out you can place your hose connected to your spigot over the top connector and run water through it while it is not plugged in.

Probably no - there is no indication that it will cool that water any colder than ambient room temperature. No way to plug it in, et cetera. Seems to me to be a simple crock that won't have plastic and styrofoam bits getting yucky, just a simple easy to sanitize crock.

It is a compressor and it will get very cold. Will easily freeze beer at lower settings. It works very well and holds pretty constant temperatures.

From someone who lives in WI I can't imagine why you would have your exterior water turned on in the first place if it's below freezing... If you did use this hose though in below freezing I would imagine if any water freezes inside the hose it will expand and degrade the integrity of the material so no, I wouldn't recommend it. I think a good rule of thumb is to turn all your spigots off and run them dry if it's that cold otherwise you run the risk of your pipes freezing which is a very expensive repair.

IMO, the device allows water to drain out of any spigot and attached hose. This prevents freezing and any siphoning of water into a well. I don't see how it could do either of these functions if it were underwater. But I am not an expert.

The spout is leak proof and will not leak if the bottle is on it's side. Just a side note, if you put anything cold in it, the entire bottle gets really cold. I didn't realize this before I purchased the bottle. You can buy a "snuggy" type cover for it, fortunately my son enjoyed the coldness of it.

Oh I really don't think so, the cover is not water tight and has vents for heat to escape.... I'm sure if installed in a cold weather area it would freeze up... It's a fine indoor product and has saved us money on our water bill, and a little on our gas bill... Electric bill went up 3 dollars a month...

Just lift the cover. The "Ice compartment" is just that little space you see with the three holes in the bottom. The ice melts, and the cold water trickles down into the evaporator.

This is an educated guess, it will keep water from freezing but not too long, as a function of the air temperature and wind chill factor. A thermos flask will do a bit better.

In the owners manual that comes with your machine it suggest that you chill the metal cylinder, and the beverage that your going use. I've put the metal cylinder in the freezer and have not waited or very long for whatever I'm going to have to slush up.
