how important is this step in winterizing?
my buddy, who's not good with computers, forgot this step when winterizing last week in NJ. He did not blow the lines and added antifreeze at the water pump bypass inside. Everything else was done...

I've missed that step twice. After running the antifreeze through the system it can actually mix in with the water. I've never had an issue with it.
BTW, when you press in on that valve make sure there is no pressure in the system. Not only will you get a face full, you can also dislodge the valve and unseat it. With the pump off open a faucet to reliev any pressure, leave it open and gently press the valve in. Antifreeze will slowly trickle out.
