I used a heat strip on a regular drinking water hose wrapped with black foam pipe insulation, and two days later, the hose was leaking and had big bubbles and blisters all over it. Sooo, I decided to read the heat strip directions which stated to not install it directly on the hose. Lesson learned!! It really doesn't get that cold in Louisiana, so I just use the black insulation without the heat strip. So if you consider using a heat strip, you might want to put some kind of barrier between the hose and the strip, or run the strip on the outside of some black foam pipe insulation.
