Actually, my slack tub (5 gallon plastic bucket)  froze up a few times last 
winter, but not hard enough that it broke the bucket.  I read in a book 
somewhere that a oak board stuck standing up in the slack tub will help some 
on ice expansion, but that probably is for the first couple of inches of 
ice. 

This year I already put  a bunch of softener salt in the bucket and about 
half a bottle of dawn dishwashing detergent. Between the soap and the salt, 
the dog finally stopped drinking from bucket!  Perhaps it is a little like 
super quench without the basic "H"
