Do they freeze up? I live in Wisconsin and worry the residual water may freeze. Thanks

I have 3 of these (similar buried systems) all running down angle underground and yes they can freeze up (residual water at/around the pop up, “Colorado clay” stops up the little relief drain hole) although just 1 of the lines seems to show drain water backup up to the downspout during melt…anyway, for winter I pull off the 4” at the bottom of the downspouts and slip on another adapter and length of 4” downhill” that is just open at the end (Maybe there’s a better way? because yes we have 4” laying on top of ground level that can trip over etc.!

How does the water make its way to the discharge with a hole in the bottom ?

The hole in the bottom is so small that the vast majority the water will be emitted from the top. The hole only allows a small amount to drain, which is important after that heavy flow has stopped.

My down spout is rectangular is there a piece to connect with that shape on one end and circular on the other?

Correct. There is a rectangular piece that fits on the downspout. Then you need your hose to connect to the drainage

Anybody use this in cold weather climates. Does it freeze up?

No. Have had 2 of then for several years in NY state. Never a problem. However they are used as an overflo for a drain pipe. I have no idea what happens when they are under a foot of snow. IBut f there is running water they won't freeze.
