ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Heated hose

Okay kiddo, so imagine you want to drink a yummy hot chocolate even when it's super cold outside. But, when you try to drink it, it's not warm anymore. So, your mom or dad helps you by pouring the hot chocolate into a special cup that has a straw with warmth in it. This makes sure that no matter how cold it is outside, you can still enjoy your hot chocolate, without it getting cold.

A heated hose works kind of like that cup with a warm straw. It's a hose that has special wires running through it, which get hot when you turn the hose on. When you attach the heated hose to something like a water supply or a garden sprinkler, the water or other liquid inside the hose stays warm even if the temperature outside is really cold.

This is very helpful for things like farming, where they need to water crops even during a cold winter, or for people who live in places where it gets really cold and they don't want their water to freeze. The heated hose is like a magical way to make sure the water stays warm and doesn't freeze, even when it's cold outside!
