ABSTRACT:
This invention is a freeze protection valve assembly for preventing the freezing of water in pipes of residential and the like water systems. The valve is positioned in a reservoir containing water of the water system. If the water temperature falls below a predetermined minimum, the valve opens discharging water from the system at the same time bringing into the system the warmer waters from the underground supply. Since the valve is activated by the temperature of the water itself, water waste is minimized.
