Blow out winterizing question

I have blown out all of the lines 3 times now, I just keep thinking a little water will pool somewhere and freeze - call me paranoid. Question; when you blow out, does that take care of the fresh water pump? If not, should I run just enough anti freeze to protect it?

1st winterize, so just checking...

Thank you!
  • I have always struggled with the same question. I have always pumped anti-freeze through the system after blowing the lines out. This takes care of the pump and is cheap insurance against freezing and breaking a line. Also, do not forget to pour anti-freeze down each of the lines.
