It's awesome to be able to turn on the shower and just step right in. I'll never have a home without it ever again.
During Icemageddon we noticed a pattern. The homes in my subdivision that had it had no frozen pipe issues, it was only the homes without it.
Our conclusion was since hot / cold side plumping for the most part runs in parallel the ambient from the hot side inside the walls kept things warm enough to protect the cold water pipes.
Can be retrofit to existing systems pretty cheaply.

Thanks, I'm going to have to look into this. My house is on a slab also but I have never had an issue with pipes freezing probably because our house is well insulated and wirh a wife and two kids, our water gets used quite a bit. My sister and niece are the only people at my sister's house so the water usage is less meaning less flow. I'm going to tell her about continuous circulation for her hot water.
