Hello,
I live in MD. It does get very cold here sometimes, below freezing. Do you need to turn off the outside spigot for Winter to keep the pipes from bursting? We've never done this before in the 20 years we've owned this house and my wife recently brought it up.
I don't really mess with the main valves if I don't have to. There are two. One I know is used for the inside because I've turned it off before and guessing the other one is for the outside. Is that right? Haven't really tested it.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
