Pink Stuff

Florida panhandle normally doesn't see low 20's but that is forecasted. We put the pink stuff in today. First time in 3 years. Rats!!!!

Mike,
Based on experience and hoping you never forgot to:
1) open up low point drains
2) run the pink through the black tank flush
3) on the kitchen faucet, be sure to run pink through the spray also
4) drain hot water tank
You probably thought of all this, but just in case.
Bingo

We are projected for sub-zero early next week here in the hills!

Gosh Mike, now you're ready for that trip up to Nebraska for a little of our hospitality and the joy of playing in the "white stuff" too!

Thanks Bingo,
Missed #1.
Rondo,
I haven't lost all my good sense. Would love to visit with you guys in July, but 100 degree heat is not on my bucket list. 7500' in the mountains is.
Mike

What is the best was to get the smell and after taste removed after you have used the antifreeze. It is hard to flush from the system.

Jay and Rhonda-- Vinegar and water in the H2O tank and run it through the lines and let it sit a bit-hour or two- then drain the tank and fill with baking soda and water and repeat through the lines and let set again. Drain all and fill with regular water and enjoy!

Jay and Rhonda--We use Spring Fresh in our tank. Fill the whole system, let set for 30 min drain and refill and drain again. Have been doing this for 10 years with good results.

No need to put through Black Flush self draining
