Hi:
I've added RV antifreeze to my fresh water tank with no problems that I can complain about.
Each spring I drain, fill, and flush the lines, drain and refill with bleach added to the tank, flush lines and let it sit. I then drain and refill, flush all lines, and I'm set. I generally drain and refill my tank before each trip (just a long weekender now with a few longer trips per year).
The flush kit at the pump sound OK, but it's just something else to leak or cause trouble.
I like to keep things as simple as possible.
