Quote: "What about any freezing? I am having trouble imagining the line being completely free of any condensation, but I haven't attempted such a project before. We have to deal with the freezing issue up here. "

We have customers who have installed systems as far north as Anchorage, AK. without any problems. If the tubing is insulated with standard pipe insulation where exposed to the atmosphere prior to either entering the water below the ice or the freeze zone in the earth, condensation is not a problem.

You were correct about the dips in the line if the supply line is not below the freeze line.

We had a customer who did not listen to or read the owner's manual and simply layed the supply line above the ground. His line did freeze shut. 1/2 cup of alchol poured into the line unplugged it. This kept him going until the spring thaw when he trenched the line below the frost line.

I thought Malibu had an automatic anti-freeze option with their windmill aeration units.
