Quickly defrost frozen garden hose by leaving it in doors overnight. Throw it in bath tub if you dont have a porch area that you don't mind getting a little wet. Mud room etc.

To defrost a frozen outdoor faucet, take a hair dryer to it for about 3-5 minutes. It will slowly start to trickle, then even the water flow will defrost the remaining ice. Works every tiome for me in great white north.

Tricks learned making an outdoor hockey rink, and nothing to do with home brewing outside. Not yet.


not quite a zombie...that was only 5-6 months ago, and i'm not dead yet...

@Nubiwan my hose is 200' long, and stays spread out in the yard.....
 
my hose has sections the last section is industrial strenth, straight from harbor frieght......
 
And goes in "every night" ;)

i'm starting to worry this cheap industrial quaility thing is going to burst on me, it's swelling at the end....i'm starting to turn off the hose at the faucet, worried it's going blow at night, and i won't find out until the morning....get a hefty water bill.....at least it's summer now, and i don't need to worry about frigid temps right now....

Ddid you say you have it in a trench? Might be an option. Just enough to keep it out of the wind. Wind is a pipes worst enemy.
