Doug, I had antifreeze pumped into the lines. I "Assume" he was suggesting not leaving the old filters in since they still have water in them and would freeze and crack. He also said to put fresh filters in, in the spring. I would also assume that by putting the caps in over the winter, I would not have any dripping antifreeze in the refer or under the sink. Here in the mountains of Virginia it gets down to single digits frequently. Last year went for about 15 days where it never got above freezing. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
1. Blow out is the BEST way and BEST protection
2. NEVER install antifreeze to the Icemaker system The Antifreeze reacts with the icemaker mold and produces a kind of slime that is time consuming to remove.
3. Interesting FYI---The Water filters in a Refer will remove the color of the RV antifreeze. Never tested to see if the whole house filters do the same. Doug
