Day 5492 - Day 14 - 2024 Project No. 2
Problem: overflow water from my tankless water heater will drip, freeze in the cold winter, and back up water in the garage.
Solution: I crafted a double drain system. Water will drain into the top can, and then down into the bottom can. If it freezes out of the pipe in the top can, I can easily pour water on it and thaw it out. As the water drains down into the bottom can, I can easily dump that water out so there is no freeze, nor backup. Then, just for additional safety, I crafted a tote with a hold in the side to fit over the drain to also help keep it shielded from the elements.
The forecast calls for pretty brutal winter this week (at least for Tennessee), so I am just trying to be as prepared as I can. Also side note: it pays to hold onto these cans for so many future uses!!
