I replaced my anti-siphon/check valve with brass parts when it went bad (which was the first time I used it).

Yep. The plastic check valves are guaranteed to fail, especially if not winterized, which most people forget to do.

How do you winterize an anti-siphon valve? I pour some anti freeze down the drains but I don’t think that would get to the valves.

I agree some of the plastic anti siphon valves on the flush system are very failure prone mine did as well. A quality brass replacement fixes the problem. But they do not need to be winterized. the anti siphon valve never has water retained in it. It is a vacuum check and won't let water retain in the line.
