Frozen Water Pipe Protector and Water Saving Device

Introducing ICE-LOC®, a new and innovative product that helps prevent water pipes from rupturing. ICE-LOC® can prevent the growth of toxic molds associated with pipe rupture. ICE-LOC® is very important in the conservation of water. ICE-LOC® used in the bathroom plumbing can decrease your water consumption. This is one important location where water is used in excess.

With water as our most precious resource, we can’t afford to continue to waste water at the rate we do today. We have water prices going up because demand is exceeding the natural rate of recovery. At the present rate we are going towards serious water shortages in many states. Solutions include devices that can be installed such as restriction valves and other hardware, which are not economical to purchase. ICE-LOC®  can conserve up to 20% of water consumption as well as prevent frozen pipe rupture in the winter months.

This patented product can be used in new, existing and pre-manufactured homes. Other applications include: recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and commercial buildings. Mobile home water supply lines as well as above ground lines which are very susceptible to rupture in cold conditions.

Industrial applications for ICE-LOC® include its use in supply lines, sensitive control devices and sensors. Many of these types of sensors and devices are damaged by the severe pressure exerted by the expansion of water as it freezes, ICE-LOC® can reduce this pressure when used in these lines.

Current Situation:

Water pipes rupture because water occupies a larger volume when frozen. If the temperature stays below freezing long enough, the temperature inside the pipe will eventually equal the outside temperature even with insulation. Before ICE-LOC® there was never a pipe protection technology that was so simple and economical, that actually could protect a frozen water pipe from rupturing when frozen solid. The FDA® approved elastomeric core material will help protect a frozen pipe from bursting and will last for many years. The elastomer is made from a proprietary formula that is found to be excellent for water applications.

Electric pipe wrap traditionally used to prevent pipe failure can loose power. Electric pipe wrap should never be placed in a wall where you cannot service this product, it can become an electrical fire hazard. Applied, a 20 ft length of pipe wrap may only service 7-10 ft of pipe, making it an uneconomical alternative to ICE-LOC®. The time to apply ICE-LOC® is during more favorable weather conditions when pipes and plumbing are much easier to work with.

According to Insurance Information Network of California (INC), frozen and ruptured Water pipe damage to homes, business and commercial properties, is second behind Hurricanes in the United States. ICE-LOC® can save thousands of dollars by preventing accidents such as a ruptured ½ inch copper pipe that can dump hundred’s of gallons water in just a few hours.

If you ever break a water pipe, mold will almost always grow in the dampened areas. It is virtually impossible to remove the mold without expensive renovation. Mold has been known to cause serious medical conditions. Congress has even passed a bill over this serious concern: H.R. 5040 The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act ("The Melina Bill"). Here is another important reason to use ICE-LOC®  

The installation of ICE-LOC® in outside water faucets, can greatly reduce the chance of a rupture to surrounding pipes. It is very easy to remove outside water faucets with water with the water turned off and to insert the ICE-LOC® core.
