I know about heat tape on the inlet water. What keeps the drain from freezing up, especially if water is left on to help prevent freezups?

I don't leave my water running, but I read that some folks do, all waste water in my unit is maintained in the holding tanks as I do not leave the valves open so that water is drained constantly. I dump the tanks when they are full, however, on the weekend I wash clothes and leave the valve open for about 2 hours and then I close it. I have my water hose sitting on top of the slinky (where the usual sewer hose goes), but since i'm not using the standard sewer hose now, I use the slinky to hold the water hose to keep it off the ground. So far, so good...everything is dandy! I'll update my adventure as the weeks go on. Allison
