Title: Frozen water and pipes in van but......
Post by: Andrew46 on January 06, 2010, 04:48:38 pm
RO in shed with heater so they are ok.

Question is: after I put heater in van and defrost is it likley pipes will be ok and not split?? Its the clear piping re-in forced.  Will the DI be ok after thawing or is this likley to be knackered??

Cheers

With a heater in there on just frost setting nothing should freeze.

Sorry misunderstanding.

The heater was not in van last night - forgot.

It is now defrosting ice but after it has done this is it likely the pipes will have split so I will have a van full of water!!!  It's never happened before as I always put heater on so I don't know the chances of the pipes splitting..
