I didn't insulate my filters last year they are in my shed and i didn't get any problems apart from the waste pipe freezing a few times.

Try a small parrafin heater Dave, like the ones they use in a greenhouse if it gets real cold, but i dont think you will get any problems with it inside mate.

Thanks for the replies.
I am not too worried about normal frosts. It's if we get a -10. I have been given an okd greenhouse parafin heater but Tracy is abit worried I might burn the garage down, and me being an ex retained fireman could be , at the least, a bit embarassing with my old mates!!!!

I had a big radiator fitted in my garage in the summer Dave, mainly for drying clothes after i come back from work or fishing but its also going to keep the chill of aswell

Inside your garage should be fine, but just in case the easiest thing to use is Polystyrene sheets. Cut to size they can make a good 'box' around the unit and can be held together with duck tape. Make sure the unit sits on a sheet of it as well.
