Air line ... What would you insulate?


Here you can make such a water supply, who cares ... In the absence of pipe bends, where water could stagnate, it withstands frosts of up to -20 or even more. Water fills the tank in the attic, and the remainder from the pipe flows back into the well.

He pulled along the wire, which he removed from the poles (50 meters), the old radio line. Double wire. The length of the pipe is around 25 meters. In principle, one support is enough. He pulled and pulled the wire. One end hooked right on the well ring.
The pipe was fixed with clamps and aluminum wire.

What would additionally insulate the pipe? Can it be insulated with polyurethane foam? But how will she behave in the cold, the sun, etc.

thermal conduit (what is it called right?)

Heating cable.

Last year, it froze on a bend, so I inserted a cable with electrodes into the pipe and heated the water with 220V electrolysis

An interesting version, only drinking water, which horrible you can’t shove. Steel wire? It will probably rust, since there is more air than water. Enamelled copper wire ...? And will he bask? You can dissolve it by welding ... Only he can melt the pipe. Everything needs to be calculated. Nichrome can be used, but how does it react to water?
Or maybe not warming, but throwing a thermal conductor inside (what is it called correctly?) Although something tells me that any wire can be pulled in a pipe and connected to a car battery, it gives a current of up to 300 amperes, from such power any wire will heat up .
The bottom line is that if it freezes, you can let the current flow through the wire, and it will allow water to pass and melt the ice.
And the insulation is not very effective if the water does not flow constantly or is standing. I saw how a makeshift sewer in barracks froze when people threw plastic pipes from a house into a nearby ravine, and although the water drained hot, it froze and the pipe slammed.
By the way, I remembered ... Once upon a time in a farm, I insulated a pipe on the street with old "potato" nets. There was a whole mountain of torn mesh bags (They were cut along when we shook out the products at the factory where we supplied them. And I brought back full tractor trailers of these nets in order to heat the stoves with them)))). Plastic burns very hot, and even more so, such, "mixed with air")))).
So, I tightly wrapped the pipe with these nets, and on top with stretch film. And so he made several layers. It helped - the pipe did not freeze.

Well this is one option
There are special "stockings" made of foam polyethylene for pipes ... But the trouble is that Dmitry really does not like my comments with the word "buy"! ..))))))

The relief does not allow, there is a ravine
Wouldn't it be better to bury?
Foam in the sun collapses.
