Has anybody used this in freezing conditions? Does it work for that? I could just imagine water freezing in the tube or filter and having a problem. Anybody know? have any experience with that?

Well if it's outside in sub-freezing conditions, the water will obviously freeze. This isn't pressurized or forced at all, so it probably won't keep it from freezing. That said, it won't suffer any damage from freezing, it just won't run, so if it's out overnight and happens to freeze and thaw in the morning, you're fine.
