    Just add a little antifreeze in your water tank and some in pressure washer. Use the chemical injector hose to put in your pressure washer

    You may want to look into tank heaters like those used on RV holding tanks! Im not sure what tempreture they heat up to however I know that they are a fairly in expensive solution to the problem! I don`t know what size tank you use but you may want to look into a few other options as well!

    IE: Make a coat for your water tank! Probably the best thing you can do is to get a sheet of the foam insulation they use on the outside of houses now prior to putting up the exterior siding! Box in your tank! im not sure what kind of heathing value this will provide for you.. However this SHOULD help reduce from some or most of the cold!

    Check out fish tank heaters! some of the larger fish tanks with tropical fish need that water heated you may want to check into this! While doing a quick search online i did find some heathing elements however they were a lil expensive!

    Your going to need to make sure to bring your chemicals inside other wise you run the risk of them freezing!
