It also has the side effect of circulating the water in all your pipes which I suspect would help freezing.
I have knocked around the idea of going with one of these systems when I need to change my tank next but never knew anybody with first hand experience to see how they liked it. Looks like the way to go. Forum helps with something that has nothing to do with cars again!
