I have never used the 'pink' stuff or blow lines out.........
I just open low point drains, all faucets/showers (hot/cold mix) and prop toilet open.
Drain water heater and fresh water tank and run pump dry.
Haven't had a bust line/fitting etc.
Done this in UT, CO, WY, CA and AZ
Water expands when it freezes...but only busts lines etc if it doesn't have room to expand. With an 'open' system the little bit of water that might be in lines can expand without damaging anything.
This pink stuff..blow lines debate is silly.
Do what works for you and makes you comfortable......even if it isn't necessary :B
