So as you see, three schools of thought:B
Blow it out only, blow it out and then AF, or AF alone.
It's really personal preference, if you feel that blowing out lines will work for you and it does - great. If it doesn't you'll know better next time:S.
I'm in fairly cold spot during the winter (one night last year was -40 C/F the only freezing point where Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same), unusual but it did happen. We do go weeks without it getting above freeing so I don't take chances, I drain the lines and then put in antifreeze as suggested in the winterizing section of my manual using the pump. The even have a placard by the pump vales explaining what to do. They say nothing about blowing out the lines.
So far so good and once I sanitize in the spring any after taste is gone.
But my long term plan is not to winterize in a few years. Florida or Arizona here I come!
