    I used this link, and I got an error message. I used my Kodak Easy Share camera to take the picture, then save the picture in my desktop. At the link you have provided, the conversion settings that I used are: JPEG, resolution is 100, and Quality is 100. It asked for Delivery method: I used the e-mail link, and I still got an error message.

    I've never used the app at that link, so not sure what the deal is...

    Email me the original and I'll put it up for you!

    OK, happy, here you go. Definitely gas, not water. I've not seen a setup like that before, and since gas does not freeze, I have no clue why that "insulation" would be on it. I bet someone will recognize it, though!

    OK, I see now:
    http://www.igin.com/Irrigation/backflow.html

    I assume, then, that water does not sit in this thing above ground all year round, is that correct?

    Hi,
    Would it be too much trouble just to walk up to a house that has one of these, knock on the door, introduce yourself, and ask what that is for?

    Yes... if it is properly install... so no need to worry about freezing and the wrapping...
