Jobe Valves Frost Pro: Your Ultimate Freeze Resistant Valve Solution

When winter hits, keeping essential Livestock Watering systems operational is a critical challenge. Frozen pipes, burst valves, and inaccessible water can lead to costly downtime and animal welfare concerns. The Jobe Valves Frost Pro device is engineered precisely to eliminate this seasonal stress, providing reliable protection against cold temperatures. It is the simple, non-electric accessory that turns your existing Jobe valve into a freeze resistant Watering Solution.

The Problem: Cold Weather Valve Failure

Traditional automatic float valves are highly susceptible to freezing, particularly in the pilot mechanism or the upper body where water sits static during the shut-off phase. This freezing can lead to two major problems:

1. Total Shut-Down: The valve freezes completely, preventing water from flowing to the trough, leaving livestock without a water source.

2. Rupture and Leaks: Expanding ice can crack the valve body or damage internal seals, resulting in massive leaks when the weather warms, requiring expensive repairs or full replacement.

The Frost Pro works by utilizing the simple, physics-based principle of minimal constant flow to prevent static water from turning to ice, ensuring that your Freeze Resistant Valve remains fully functional even in the harshest winter conditions.

Mechanism and Compatibility: How Jobe Valves Frost Pro Works

The Frost Pro accessory is designed for simple, tool-free installation onto Jobe's high-performance valves, specifically the Topaz and Vortex models.

The device works by allowing a precisely controlled, minute amount of water to bypass the main seal when the valve is closed. This small, continuous trickle of water provides two vital functions:

1. Constant Movement: It ensures water is always moving slightly through the valve body and the attached supply line, preventing the formation of ice crystals.

2. Warmth Transfer: It introduces a continuous supply of warmer ground or line water into the trough, resisting freezing near the valve mechanism and inlet.

This strategic, minimal bypass is highly water-efficient yet extremely effective at maintaining a temperature above freezing in the critical valve zone, making your Jobe valve truly a Frost Free Valve.

Use Case 1: Protecting Critical Livestock Watering Systems

For large-scale farming operations, maintaining uninterrupted Livestock Watering access is non-negotiable.

Imagine a sudden overnight drop to −10 degrees Celsius. Without the Jobe Frost Pro, a stockman might spend hours manually thawing frozen valve bodies, risking damage and losing valuable time. With FrostPro installed on every Topaz or Vortex valve:

• Zero Downtime: Water flow remains constant, even if minimal, keeping the trough operational and eliminating the need for manual thawing.

• Labor Savings: Labor costs associated with monitoring and repairing frozen infrastructure are drastically reduced, allowing personnel to focus on animal care rather than plumbing emergencies.

• Peace of Mind: You guarantee continuous water availability for cattle, sheep, and other stock, protecting animal health and meeting regulatory standards, all thanks to a simple, non-electric, Freeze Resistant Valve upgrade.

Use Case 2: Remote Industrial and Storage Tank Protection

The Jobe Valves Frost Pro is also indispensable for remote applications, such as unheated utility tanks, bulk chemical storage facilities, or firefighting reserves, where daily monitoring is impractical.

In these use cases, preventing a valve failure is crucial because a burst pipe in a remote area can lead to catastrophic water loss or flooding. By installing the Frost Pro on the automatic filling valve (like the high-flow Vortex), operators benefit from:

• Infrastructure Safeguard: The device acts as an insurance policy, preventing the expansion of ice from cracking the valve or inlet plumbing during extended cold periods.

• Sustained Readiness: Tanks maintain their critical water levels because the valve remains functional and able to refill the tank as needed, without risk of freeze lock-up.
