Wrap the tank in a blanket and tape it to hold it.

If you have a return pump still running you can also fill one of those 5 gallon Orange drink jugs (the ones you see at all the sporting events) with hot or warm water. Then connect a long hose to your return so that it pumps the tank water through a hose that is submerged in the hot water in the jug.

I've even heated the water on a fire in the back yard before to keep it warm after the water heater was out of hot water. :) Gotta keep the water friends alive.

What weather?  No wind or snow in West Jordan. Thumbs Up

Adam, when the power is out between midnight and 3 am you are supposed to just sleep through it, it's dark anyway. Wink
