If yes, then what do you do?

Got down to 24 degree two nights in row last year and had no freezing problems. The day time temps warm up to at least high 30s on those days. Normally winter low temps may dip into high twenties couple time in January or feb. in 8 plus years I’m been here. As precaution usually disconnect outside hose and put towel over the irrigation pipes sticking up by house.

Also there are two relief valves on valve. You could close the inlet valve and open these valves to relieve any chance If ice swelling, I solve few do that down here? Further north I would that would be must thing to do to prevent housing from splitting?
