Fall has arrived, and with it comes cooler nights and crisp mornings. While the fall weather still leaves room for enjoyment of our seasonal retreats and recreational travel vehicles, it will soon be time to get them ready for the immanent freezing temperatures. Winterizing plumbing can be a stressful chore, draining water pipes and water-based appliances can get tricky if any water is left behind.

Did you know merely draining your water lines will not stop water from settling in low points to freeze? Another go-to of ‘blowing lines out’ can result in water and condensation settling which can still cause your pipes to freeze and break – the safest way to protect your pipes is to fill them with plumbing antifreeze.

Canadian plumber Brian Feeney has years of hands-on experience and saw a need for an easier way to winterize; and so, he created a genius system to help get the job done. The Clozer is a flow-activated electric pump that is designed to pump non-toxic plumbing antifreeze into your water system to prevent freezing and rupturing of the pipes and lines. The remarkably user-friendly Clozer helps home and cottage owners protect against the costly damage frozen and burst waterlines can cause over the winter when properties are not being used.

How does it work? The Clozer connects to valves that are spliced into the hot and cold lines at your hot water tank. By simply operating the taps and fixtures the valves to the hot and cold lines are opened allowing The Clozer to pump non-toxic plumbing antifreeze through all the water supply lines; when the flow from fixtures turns from clear to pink you know you are done with that section of plumbing. No pre-draining or blowing out the water pipes is needed when using The Clozer.

“We had our Clozer installed in our seasonal cottage last summer and are 100% satisfied. It has reduced opening and closing time enormously, making both opening and closing quick, reliable and easy. Short winter visits to the cottage are now an even greater pleasure and a lot less work, since the pump is already primed when we arrive, and there are never any frozen pipes, popped elbows or broken faucets. We have no hesitation in recommending this product.” – N&T Wiles
