You gave the answer in the last part - you don't want them to freeze and burst during winter.
if the water in the pipes freezes, it will expand and break the pipes.

well I would not freeze a hamster but about 3 min. But I would not do it
It doesnt defrost particularly well.
Internal pipes in a heated house should not freeze. External pipes need to be well insulated from the cold, or they are likely to freeze.
Put a class of water in a freeza x Im sure it well freeze x
Yes, you should. More importantly, you should insulate those waterlines before next winter.
Because they'd bloody well freeze to death!
Well, 32°F (0°C) freezes, so water around that temperature is very cold. The water around Antarctica for example is colder than 32°F but since it is salt water and in the ocean with waves, it doesnt freeze.
Well, adding Sodium Chloride can do the trick. It depresses the freezing of water therefore it will freeze at a much lower temprature. Actually, salt is used in many occasions to keep things unfrozen-for example, roads in winter...
Antifreeze is also used in the summer due to the fact that it keeps your vehicle from over heating in high temperatures. It has a higher boiling point than water so it doesn't evaporate as quickly as water. As well as a lower freezing point for winter use so it doesn't freeze like water. It also contains anti corrosion additives, and water pump lubricants.
