Pros & Cons
Pros
Great product. Couldn't be much simpler. My old heat tape was easy heat and it lasted 20 years.
Cons
Pipes froze and are still freezing. Poor warranty on product. Spent 4 hrs installing this product an first freeze of the season pipes froze.
There were bare wires hanging about with no insulation. I'm not sure if mine was defective or not. The directions state these type installations could be a fire hazard.
Highlights
Quality
Good quality and plug ins light up orange so you know their getting power
Got this product for my outside pipe
The sensor has to be in contact with the pipe
That being said the product does not allow you to wrap the pipe and or use it in any other fashion than a straight run on the pipe
Competitiveness
Couldnt find 3ft cables at the hardware stores
Using heat tape on exposed water lines in pretty much a nobrainer
It turns on 38°f off at 45°f pipe temp
