I did it the wet way once... NEVER AGAIN
I switched to the dry method (Blow the lines out with air) for the next few winters.. Much easier, Cheaper and no yuck to clean out of the lines come spring.
Now I use the S-Method (Drive S-outh till it no longer freezes) so far it's only failed me one time and in a non-damaging way.. (Cold water crossover line from Curb to Driver's side froze.. NO fittings froze, just the pex tube and PEX survives freezing very well) thawed once the sun came up.. I had heat in the wet bays but this line was dead center between heat sources.
