Drained antifreeze after winterizing; ok or not okay?

It is fine that you drained the stuff out after winterizing. It will reduce the tendency to leave a "taste" in the water when you use it next summer. Make sure you fill and empty your fresh water tank and water heater several times before you use the unit to get all the antifreeze residue out. The water heater will foam badly until all of it is removed.
