What do you use, any photos? 

I never have in the past, but this year I'm going to be pumping all winter. I froze up a little yesturday while moving. I checked all kinds of plumbing supply houses today and cant find and foam pipe wrap in 5" . The biggest I can find is 2".

That bubble wrap insulation with one side foil is slick. An 18" roll will cover your pipe and you just secure it with duct tape.

Like this stuff,

Seen pumps with insulated pipes with heating, most be a pig to fit.
Never managed to freeze my pipes, but heard of people that have. And it mostly happens in single-wall pipes.

Just ask Gramma to make you a "Boom-Cozy" for Christmas!

 Too Tall, Now thats the best idea i have seen yet. Maybe I can get all the old spinsters at the old folks home to pitch in and help old gammy. I'll start my own elderly powered "sweat shop" and mass produce! start placing your orders now!

  Thanks BOB I'll try that bubble stuff.

Bob,that bubble wrap looks good.Oh how I remember that round "itchy" preformed stuff,yuk.

I REMEMBER THE "OLD WAY " TOO!!

It was really, really bad.

New pumps, new technology is WAY better ;~)

It would be way cool to wrap your pipes in Christmas present paper. ;~)

Totally festive
