Hello,

after buying an old farmhouse, I have now made it as far as the water meter and have seen a strange construction. I don’t know if something like this might have been common in the past or if this is an old homemade setup. The yellow hose leads into this thick metal pipe in the floor. You can also pull the hose out. The valve works and the wastewater just runs somewhere. Can anyone make sense of this?

The insulation is also very poor or practically non-existent. There is an unplugged heater at the bottom of the metal box and a trace heater along the pipe, although the sensor is not even touching the pipe. The room will gradually take on outside temperatures since it is not insulated at all. What measures would be most suitable here to protect the line?

Best regards
