Winterizing your Drinking Post is very important if you live in a cold climate. There are 2 parts to the winterization process, (1) adjusting your paddle, and (2) lubricating your activation rod.

Paddle adjustment is very important for winterization! When it gets cold, the paddle material will contract and tighten around the metal activation rod, which can cause it to push the rod down. This can cause the Post to run on its own and freeze. A simple paddle adjustment will prevent this issue, please watch the video! Keep an eye on paddle adjustment throughout the year, especially if you are expecting a cold snap!
