Yup, and you are less likely to leave water behind and have an expensive repair. Don't forget, even if you are successful in blowing out the lines, you need to add antifreeze to the pump and to the drains.
Agree. IF you use your freshwater pump you need to get pink in it. That is why after the walkthrough, and first time winterizing. I don't use the fresh tank, or pump.
Pink is not easier for all. it isn't for me. My pump has no winterizing kit, and you can't get to it to unhook the hose from the tank, and hook up one to the pink bottle. So after the first time having to put enough in the fresh tank for it to be picked up. I now only use air. Only take a few minutes, and you don't have to bypass the water heater. Which on my TT is also hard to get to.
35 PIS at the city water inlet, Go to each faucet in turn. let it blow until no more mist comes out, Pour a little pink in the traps, and on tolite seal, and you are done. Can winterize with about 1/2 gal of antifreeze.
