I have always been a line blower outer till we got our B (which never seems to get all the water out when blowing). I have a couple questions since I have to use pink stuff in there...1. Is the pink stuff (I got the Camco Arctic Ban) OK to sit in the toilet or will it be bad for the seal? I can't get the pink stuff out because if I flush - more pink stuff comes out of the lines.I use the Thetford Toilet Seal Lubricant and Conditioner in our trailer as I don't use the pink stuff in the lines.2. Will the plumbing at the water inlet be OK since there is no pink stuff in there, I'm assuming there is still water. Or will the water mix with the pink stuff in the lines and then will that be enough to keep it from freezing?Just trying to be safe...

1. Its fine to sit in the bowl - used it for 9 years2. The lines in will fine alsoI only screwed up once when I did not run pink stuff through the outside shower

ok to use it ,I flush in the spring ,then run half cup colrox thru the system .and let sit couple hours ,then flush couple times.

1. I would open the cold water at the sink to relieve system pressure, then flush. Then pour in the seal conditioner.

I would attend to draining the water inlet of water. To do this on our RV I remove the cone shaped screen at the water inlet then push in on the check valve until pink stuff shows up. Watch that you do not get the pink stuff in the face.

1. I would use a Propylene glycol based product that does not contain ethanol to help the seals and the aftertaste.

2. Use a Valterra P23507VP Plastic Hand Pump Kit to inject antifreeze into the city water connection.. Be sure to turn the water pump off and open a faucet or it will not have any place to go.

Also, use the Valterra on the black water tank flush fitting until you have flushed the fresh water in the line into the tank. Don't worry, no black water as been through this fitting.

The fresh water inlet that still has normal water in it WILL freeze. You have to do something with it too.
