Due to water quality requirements, salt cannot be added, and there is no steam heating available on site; I would like to ask those with more experience if there are any other methods to prevent the water in the tank from freezing over in winter
An electric heating tape will work too; just turn it on when needed.
A pump with a low flow rate can be installed for circulation, to promote water movement and create ripples on the water surface.
Heating element at the bottom of the device – turns on in winter
Cold regions: 1. Ensure proper insulation； 2. Maintain the flow of water (circulation on the upper floor). In extremely cold areas: Install electric heat tracing to ensure continuous circulation and prevent freezing.
The simplest approach is to add an electric heater at the bottom, while insulating the tank.
I also think mobility is the best approach.
