Winterizing toilet??
When winterizing, do you leave the pink stuff in the toilet bowl?? I've read the seals need to stay wet, but will the pink stuff damage them? Will it stayin the toilet bowl punk?

If you use the cheap ethanol based anti-freeze, it may dry out seals, and will evaporate. It only takes a few gallons to winterize, so I don't mind paying 5 bucks a gal, for higher quality. It won't evaporate, won't stain, and is actually a good lubricant for seals.

The higher quality (Glycol) is mineral oil based which is why it is good for the rubber seals. Downside is it is not as easy to find and costs 4 times as much. The other good side effect of Glycol is that it actually tastes quite good and does not leave that Antifreeze taste in you fresh water lines...
It's pretty easy to find down here and reasonably priced as well. Walmart's Supertech brand RV antifreeze is propylene glycol based. Down here it's about $2.50 a gallon.
