I have a question.

I live in Southern Florida. It rarely ever gets cold here. We are usually so warm that having heat is not a building code requirement. Stores and restaurants do not have heat at all. Here is the problem. We are on well and septic here. Our pump and water filtration system is outside. We are supposed to be somewhere between 31 and 34 degrees tonight. I was thinking about insulating the exposed water pipes, but it's raining. Insulation can't get wet. So if I wanted to insulate the pipes with something that can withstand the rain what should I use?

You can insulate just wrap again with any kind of plastic. Trash bags or grocery bags. Even stretch wrap. I've been on a well in many places and have learned over the years to keep the bathtub filled for emergency water flushing etc .
You can also let the faucets drip to keep the pipes flowing just enough to keep the ground temperature coming

@Gibbon I thought about that. 🙂
