• The Freeze Miser operates like the thermostat in your home.
• After installation, it senses the internal water temperature arriving to the faucet not the air temperature.
• The Freeze Miser activates when the water temperature drops below 37º F/3º C.
• No water is released until the activation temperature is sensed.
• The Freeze Miser is on guard 24/7!

How to Install

Hand-tighten the Freeze Miser® on to an outdoor faucet or hose.

Turn the water supply valve to a fully open position. A minimum of 10 PSI water pressure is required.

Install the Freeze Miser® in a horizontal or vertical position. In the upright position, the small brass end should be at the bottom. Do NOT install the Freeze Miser® with the brass end pointed upward.

If placing on a hose (150 feet or less) – Keep the Freeze Miser® off the ground to ensure the Freeze Miser® senses the water’s temperature only in the hose.

Expert Tip – Before the cold season starts, we recommend placing the Freeze Miser® in a freezer for several hours. Then quickly place on an outdoor faucet and open fully. Water should discharge through the Freeze Miser®, and the flow should stop in a short while.
