Question:
I have a heated water hose already but the connection at the campground faucet still froze on me last winter. Were heading to Colorado for a couple months and Id like something that protects the ends too. Do these AquaFresh hoses heat the fittings or would I still need to wrap everything separately?

Hey Daniel!
Both the 12' AquaFresh Heated Water Hose # VAL22SD and 25' # VAL54QD have insulated zippered cuffs at each end to help protect the connections from freezing.
The hose itself has a self-regulating heating element that automatically adjusts its output as temperatures change, and it's rated for temperatures down to -20°F. The cuffs help retain warmth around the fittings, but they aren't independently heated, so any exposed portion of the campground spigot may still need additional freeze protection.
The only difference between these two hoses is their length, so I'd choose whichever reaches your hookup without leaving too much extra hose on the ground.
Is your campground's water spigot completely exposed, or is it inside an insulated enclosure?
