North Florida here and thought this product might be used to protect plumbing outside the pump house. After receiving the product and reading the entire manual, it shouldn't be used outside. Returned.

I wrapped my wellhead and exposed pipes and it does the job w/o insulation. ( I may add insulatiuon this year) Automatic switch works as advertised. If you have exposed pipes. This works.

We purchased this heat tape and the insulation for it and installed it 9/2011. It is still working. The install was straight forward and not difficult. This recent purchase is a backup.

This is a FOLLOWUP to my original review dated January 8, 2013. Heat tape installed 9/2011 has failed. Woke up early AM 1/21/2013 and pipes were frozen. We live in a 1992 moblie home, built for us and we have lived in it for 20 years. The original heat tape lasted us 15 years then failed. We a had it replaced by a heating contractor and that failed us within 2 years. That is when we replaced it ourselves with this product,now that has failed. Luckily I purchased a second one but I don't hold out much hope of that lasting very long. Will now go to hardware store to purchase a heat gun.

I did not appreciate that I am supposed to wrap the tape around the pipe, and then wrap everything with waterproof tape. We have freezing weather in Los Angeles about 2-3 days a year and it did not seem worth the effort to install.
