Remembering to also do washer and out side shower connection. Use short piece of hose connected to freeze, stick hose into pink jug, turn on water pump I then run the pink stuff through the pipes to each faucet I blew out. Add pink to each of the p-traps and into the black and grey tanks. Usually takes less than 2 gallons. I do not fill hot water heater or fresh water tank with pink. Never had an issue in the cold winters of Idaho.
I have never used the pink stuff as I always blow out the system with air. I'm just curious, why do you blow out with air if you're then filling the line, you just blew out with pink stuff?
