Hot water lines
I know that antifreeze gets fed to the cold water lines via the pump. How does the hot water lines gets antifreeze?

I double checked HW Bypass it is shut off. I've gone through two gallons of antifreeze. Would I need more?
By pass shut off??????
Bypass needs to be open in order to bypass WH
Cold inlet to WH needs to be shutoff (closed)
Are you getting any flow out of hot side of any faucet?
Should get it out of cold and hot side at same time...if only from cold and none from hot side might want to stop----go remove WH drain plug and see if anti-freeze is in WH
Some WHs have three valve systems......cold inlet, hot outlet & bypass
Some have 2 valve systems...cold inlet & bypass (check valve in hot outlet)
Some have 1 valve...cold inlet/bypass (3 way valve) and check valve in hot outlet.
Which do you have?
Newbie me, I had both valves shut off. I'll try again tomorrow.
I have a two valve system.
Thanks!!
