Had an off the wall thought this morning. Why not use a salt solution for anti-freeze in the waste water plumbing? Would not want to put it into the fresh water system unless you are sure there are no metalic components (valves, connectors, aluminium water heater, etc) but why not the the p traps under the sinks? Everything I know of in the waste system is pvc.
Because there is usually antifreeze left to pour in the traps, salt solution will likely freeze in very cold climates, and antifreeze is cheap. Don't reinvent the wheel
