Water Hose Left In Over Winter
Our seasonal camp draws water from the lake using a black "plastic" hose. Since we bought the house 13 years ago, I've always removed the hose when we close up for the fall, but I know lots of people leave their hoses in all winter.
Our shore line is on an open bay and is exposed to NW wind. I'm concerned that a hose left in over the winter could get embedded in a sheet of ice and break off or move.
I'm not interested in heating the line during the winter.
Any experience with leaving a hose in all winter? Thanks in advance.
