a water will go to the slab from the meter. but the water line is then run up the wall into the attic. from there a trunk line will be run across the house. after that 1/2 inch lines will branch off to wherever they need to go.

I always thought you were just supposed to drip the faucet that's the furthest away from where the water line enters your house?

I just took cold. I have a natural gas tankless water heater. My gas bill would be outrageous if that water heater ran all night

There is a minimum flow rate required for the heater to actually kick on.
However, most tankless water heaters have an anti-freeze system. As long as power and gas is supplied the unit itself will never freeze up. The pipes on the other hand...

"experts" also say boys are girls. Guess we should just trust the experts. How about all the "experts" during covid? Just trust them too?
If you have any actual data that shows a significant decrease in ambient temp, I'd love to see it. But no one will post any. We know why.

Here is one of many experiments showing a difference you hard headed know it all:

In our experiment leaving the doors open made a 9 degree difference. Even if our experiment house was never at risk for frozen pipes, in colder weather, 9 degrees could make the difference between freezing and above freezing.

In order to prevent the costly disaster of freezing pipes and burst pipes, you need to take every precaution possible — especially ones that are as easy as opening you cabinet doors. It’s free, it only takes a second, and there are no downsides.

No fricking chance is a cabinet open to the room for any significant amount of time going to have a 12 degree difference in temperature from the air right next to it. That doesn't pass the smell test at all.
Y'all open your cabinets if you want. It's not doing anything for you is all I'm telling you.

Kind of like your actual data?
It’s common sense.
Yet to see you cite an expert saying otherwise.
I’m sure I could cite a dozen more articles.
Please provide an article citing expert opinions similar to what you have concluded.
By the way, I’m not expecting a logical response from you.

Maybe a silly question, but do you know why, or what could have prevented this? I covered mine (south La.) and seem okay.

So I give you the data you ask for and you claim the guy that did the experiment is lying? A poster in this thread gave you data and you dismiss it. All to refuse to acknowledge you might be wrong.
I bet your friends and family know you as the guy that never acknowledges being wrong irl, too. It doesn’t matter here on the internet, but try to do better for them this Christmas.
Happy holidays!

Okay we get the point. You don’t recommend cabinet doors open. Now carry on with your day please.

It's the opposite of common sense.

I totally agree

Didn't say he lied. I do say his measurement technique is likely flawed as I cannot get that big of a drop in my cabinet right now while holding me thermometer to the actual metal of the water supply. And my outside temp is right around the 25 he had.

There simply isn't enough difference in temp to have any measurable effect on preventing freezing. Let's say that 9 degree difference is legit. That's not enough to make much difference to the water in the pipes.

So do we leave water running during the day since temps will stay below freezing?

One of my outsized spigots was froze this morning despite being covered. I just hit it with a propane torch and got it flowing before the line froze more into the house. Slab on grade and the spigot line is in an insulated wall proving yet again LNCHBOX consistently has bad takes
how you know it was froze? do you go outside, uncover, and test them all?

So you can’t cite a singe article?
Yep there it is.

You're free to run the calculations.
