That ad takes some liberties with the facts

"Sub zero winters are now the norm in ireland"
Werent they always the norm , im sure temps have dropped to sub zero every winter.

"Irish mains water pipes are not buried deep enough "
They must of surveyed everyones house when we werent looking what a statement to make. Mine are buried plenty deep no issues the last 2 winters at all.

"Pipes are freezing between house and street"
They are also freezing in attics or anywhere whatsoever that is exposed to outside climate temps.

And dont get me started on the actual installation you want us to feed a thin wire down a pipe which could easily be 20 - 30meters im sure that will be a grand handy job.
And the diagram the pipe is shown not even 6 inchs beneath the soil if it was that near you could dig it up with a spade not a bother and do something with it

Also no mention of how it affects flow rates etc.

And great use of the music from American beauty a film about an dysfunctional family home ending in murder great association with your product.

Looks like a good idea to me but yes its an expensive fancy gimmick but if you have the money why not.
