Motivated by an ice scraper
I kept saying: "Maybe one more trip." I thought that maybe the woman and I should get out one last time, maybe see some colorful leaves.
Scraping frost from my winshield this morning motivated me to get the pink stuff in. :E Dropped to 28f last night, going to happen again most of the week. I'll get the battery and the rest of the "stuff" later, but ice damaged water lines scare me.
I do not have one of those fancy water heater by-pass valves, so I do it the way my father taught me. He did it this way with several trailers on his seasonal site...never blew a water line.
First I blow out the lines with a compressor, then I add pink stuff as a secondary measure. "How pink stuff without a by-pass?", you ask. By filling the lines from the top---down, of course. I also disconnect the lines from the water heater tank and let some pink stuff flow into the lines that way. Plus, I add to the tank and suck up a bit to line the bottom of the water heater.
Between blowing out the lines, plus adding the pink stuff, I am realatively certain that pink stuff gets to all the low spots.
By the way, a simple funnel helps to keep from pouring pink stuff onto the sinks.....goes straight down the drain.
