I wasn't sure what you had for climate conditions but figured it didnt hurt to mention it just in case it was an oversight. I'd hate to see a major leak on that beast. If you do have concerns about any freak/ odd cold snaps you can add something called heat trace tape. Its basically a heated wire taped to the exposed portion of pipes and it is electrically powered. They use these on exterior sprinkler systems for example but they do have a short lifespan (maybe 5yrs) but still it adds piece of mind. In your application it looks like it would be a good canidate because you could also set it up to toggle on only when needed making it last much longer. At any rate, great build!
