Blowing out water lines mistake ??

This seems like someone that is convinced his method is without fail and the "pink" one is for those that don't do it his way.
Sorry but been doing the pink thing for 18 years without any problem and trailer is stored in the great white north. The pink stuff is "made" for one purpose and does it well without any other effects.

:R

GEE, glad you are using the pink stuff..

Seems to me I read quite a few posts this spring and perhaps last spring also of folks who used the pink stuff WITHOUT blowing out the water first which resulted in BROKEN water lines.

The pink stuff ONLY works when it is used FULL STRENGTH.

ANY dilution by any amount of water WILL RENDER it USELESS.

The problem however with depending on the pink stuff is the manufactures CAN CHEAT and dilute it further than they should WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

I HAVE personally ran into this issue with the blue windshield washer fluid! Several winters ago, I FOUGHT with several jugs of windshield washer fluid (I bought them at the same place at the same time) which FROZE COMPLETELY SOLID IN THE LINES AND TANK. The temperatures, 20F-25F ABOVE ZERO! The blue stuff should be good WELL below that.. I basically bought blue colored water :M

Go ahead and feel better but you STILL have a good chance of freezing if the manufacturer CHEATED and diluted the pink stuff or you do not leave enough pink stuff run out (waste)..

I sleep very well with just blowing out the water :B
