Dear Readers,

I'm considering wrapping insualtion around the cold water pipes in the
basement to prevent them from dripping condensation all over the place
this summer. But I have a bladder-type water tank too (I've well
water), and that condenses just as much as the pipes. I'm thinking of
wrapping every pipe, fitting, hose and even the water tank to prevent
condensation. Of course, I would never wrap the jet pump... that
would be bad. Has anyone had good/bad experience with wrapping a
water supply tank?? or the supply hoses from the pump to the tank??
What should I use to wrap the tank? One of those hot water heater
jackets?

All advise appreciated.
