Temporary insulation of water pipes

[Fröberg]

Hello,

I have my own well, and this summer I added a T-joint to get a water spout. The plan was to build a retaining wall and install the water spout there, but I didn't manage to do it in time.

So now the main line and the PEM pipe are exposed. Is there anything I can cover them with to prevent freezing?

Where in Sweden? Stagnant water in the same pipe for a whole winter is practically impossible up here where I live, unless you are quite a bit down in the ground or have electric heating.

In Skåne, maybe it is possible to "just" insulate the pipe during a winter.

It is in the Stockholm area. Considering covering the pit with a few dm of foam plastic from the bottom upwards. That should work?

There is no guarantee. If you absolutely want running water, you need electric heating in or around.
