2 Always Insulate pipes whenever possible Drain all water from pipes To Prevent Frozen Water Pipes Install valves at lowest points on water lines. DRAIN PIPES METHOD Open valves allowing all water to drain from system. N O T P R A C T I C A L

3 Heat Whole House Leave Faucets Dripping Risk ICE DAM forming in drain pipes DRIP-N-HEAT METHODS Forget 1 time could be disaster Unexpected freeze temp, forgot setup Open cabinet doors T o o R i s k y

4 Keep Spare Fuses Open Cabinet Doors Heat Tape wrap pipes Risky heat tape blown-fuse / power fail HEAT TAPE METHOD High Energy Consumption Annual inspection / fire history Heat whole house C O S T L Y E N E R G Y B I L L S

5 Always Insulate pipes whenever possible Intermittent warm water circulation. To Prevent Frozen Water Pipes INSIDE-OUT METHOD PROVEN SOLUTION RESIDENTIAL / sm- med COMMERCIAL

6 INTERMITTENTLY “ONLY AS NEEDED” BASED ON TEMP

7 WATER IN PIPES IS REPLACED INTERMITTENTLY BASED ON WATER TEMP REMOVING ANY COLD / NEAR FREEZING THREAT HIGH EFFICIENCY LOW-POWER PUMP CIRCULATES WARM WATER THROUGHOUT HOT + COLD WATER PIPES

8 WATER MOLECULES INTERACT UNTIL COMMON TEMP HEAT DISPLACEMENT IN WATER Removing barrier between Red and Blue zones quickly results in all water at common temperature.

9 ATOMS CONTINUE MOVING UNTIL COMMON TEMP HEAT DISPLACEMENT IN PIPES HEATED WATER INTRODUCED INTO COLD PIPE (water near freezing temp shown in blue)

10 THERMAL ENERGY DISPLACED THROUGHOUT PIPE HEATED WATER IN PIPES HEAT SPREADS UNTIL COMMON TEMP THERMAL ENERGY APPLIED INSIDE PIPES RESULTS IN LESS ENERGY LOST TO ENVIRONMENT

11 120F deg. Water introduced at position “zero” WILL IT PROTECT ALL MY PIPES? Thermal energy spreads regardless of pipe system complexity Convection continues throughout until all atoms are of equal temperature (goal: ambient)

12 QUIK-N-EASY INSTALL WHOLE HOME / OFFICE PROTECTION NO MAINTENANCE / INSPECTIONS LONG LIFECYCLE 8 to 10+ YRS PROTECT PIPES IN WALLS / FLOORS 1/10 TH ENERGY OF HEAT TAPE SUPPORT UPS / POWER OUTAGES FEATURES OWNERS/PROPERTY MGR’S WANT WHEN PREVENTING FROZEN WATER PIPES HEAT TAPE ___ Y N WATER FLOW = NO CRYSTALIZATION NO BLOWN FUSE ISSUES ___ Y N Y N Y N Y N Y N Y N Y N Y N LOWERS SPACE HEATING NEEDS ___ Y N Always Insulate pipes whenever possible

13 Takes Less Than 15 Minutes QUIK-N-EASY 3 STEP INSTALL STEP 1STEP 2 STEP 3 Close Supply Valves Disconnect and Reconnect Connect Hoses Provided

14 Freeze Protection For Multiple Freeze Conditions USER SELECTABLE TEMPERATURE Temperature Based “as needed” Cyclic-Pumping Minimizes demand on water heater Does NOT Heat Water 40F to 118F Does not limit water heater output temp

15 AVOID THAWING FROZEN PIPES Turkey baster Bucket hot water Towel wrapped pipe Water catch pan ATC3000 WITH A NEVER use an open flame to thaw pipes. Know location of main shutoff valve.

16 PREVENT COSTLY DAMAGES AVOID FROZEN PIPE DISASTERS ELIMINATE FROZEN PIPES ATC3000 AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT www.RedyTemp.com Does NOT Heat Water COMPATIBLE WITH ALL WATER HEATERS TANKLESS VERSION ALSO AVAILABLE INCLUDES: Two (2) Hoses, Digital 20 event timer, Power cord, Install guide 2 Year Warranty SHIPS COMPLETE NO ADDITIONAL PARTS TO BUY Since 2006

17 Act now!!! before it’s too late
