We turn it on and off throughout freezing weather as the wife will rinse/wash her car every chance she gets. This, in part, is what keeps wearing out the gasket, and is why I want a hydrant. But I've read of hydrants failing, so you'll give me your best input

So many questions. If it can wait until next week, I'm off.
So many beers available
It can wait until you're off. Stay in touch.
Oh, and you'll get to see our new grass! It's not the whole property, but it's 300 square feet of sunny seating.
