I am very happy with your product. I had to snake it down a gutter downspout and into a culverts for drainage during winter. So far so good and we've been having horrendously cold weather here in Wisconsin.

It is currently minus 37 deg C and there has been no issues to date. Very pleased. For a DIY person, the installation was very simple. Highly recommend for these brutal winters.

In-line heating works well for my water main from the lake. It's 150 feet. Pro tip: ensure you have the correct nut with a hole on the line before threading! Learns the hard way, but otherwise an easy installation.

Currently working beautifully in cold frozen Lake Champlain. The pipe extends 100’ into the ice. We paired the 1” feeders with a 3” PVC pipe and hay bales for the shore section, flawless results.

Our cabin in Vermont is our sanctuary, but we always worried about the pipes bursting while we were away in the city. Since installing YeloDeer, I can check the forecast and relax. It's the best insurance we ever bought.

The septic discharge line is the last thing you want frozen in mid-January. YeloDeer was a game changer for our Michigan home. Easy to install even for someone who isn't a professional plumber.

In-Pipe Heating Cable for Drain Lines

User Voices

I couldn't be more pleased. Worked through 12 feet of extension cord in -17°F for my septic outlet. Even with the voltage drop, the heat cable keeps the 4" septic outlet pipe clear. Flawless.

I installed your cable inside an exterior Radon exhaust pipe tower. No more ice building up in my house or hearing the fan vibrate from ice. So far, work perfectly. Not even noticeable electricity usage.

I purchased a water heater for my well head. Installation was easy. The heater was tested down to about -12°F. Still performing well. Will probably purchase a higher watt version for next winter.

New England winter has been brutal, but YeloDeer worked beautifully in our 4" drain pipe. It kept it from freezing even in the middle of our roof. Best money I've spent.

Installation was smooth. It can protect sump pump lines further in the core without freezing. Very happy with the product so far.

It worked great. Used the string pull method to get it through the septic line. No more freezing worries. Simple for a DIY person.
