Saving pink antifreeze?

+1

I use one gallon of pink to winterize, less than a quart for the shower sump and the rest into the holding tank (via the head). Both the sump and holding tank are sucked dry before the anti-freeze is added.

I do the same, but, also pour a little pink into the sink drain because there is a loop in that line. ( I have never understood why there is a loop in that line ?????)

Here's a nice sale..... http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...gId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3083063&catalo

If it's the propylene glycol stuff, yes good savings. If it's the ethyl alcohol stuff it will cause corrosion on metal. The ad does not say what it is that I saw.

1. Drain the water by runing a sink until the tank is empty
2. Attach the compressor hose to your shore water connection with an adaptor that will fit on you compressor hose to the female shore water connection.
3. blow through you lines openning each sink, tollet, and any fixture connectect to your water system.
4. Open valve on the HW heater and blow the water out.
5. Disconnect the compressor connection to you shore water connection
6. ( I use a hand held small gun shape air compressor fiting and blow through the lines leading to and from my water pump. I leave the valve open on the HW heater which vents the line on the out put side of the water pump. I don't blow through the pump.
7. I put pink AF in the head, drains, shower sump, fwd bilge, and a little in the tank...
8. This year a mixed in a little of the Blue toilet fluid in with the AF to keep the head from smelling, and lubricate the rubber valve.

Thanks Rod, the explaination was helpful.
