Just had a brainstorm - how about a survey!

[DutchmenSport]

I just had a brainstorm when reading through the posts here.

So here's my question. We have two groups of folks on these forums: Those who exclusively blow out their water lines when winterizing and those who use the "pink stuff". For purposes of this survey, if you use a combination of blow and pink, you're still using the pink stuff.

Here's my curiosity: Is it because of the pink-stuff (taste, chemicals, or whatever) you do not drink from your own system?


So here's the survey question:

Do you "blow-out" or "pink-up" to winterize. And the second response, when you have de-winterized your system in the spring, do you drink or not drink from your camper?

If you do not drink from your own camper's water system, why?

Let's have fun folks, no jabbing each other, please?

I'll start:

Pink-up and drink. (I'm too old and too cheap to buy bottled water so I drink - but I did buy an in-line water filter this year too)

Blow, pink, sanitize, never drink! (bad stomach - carry bottled water from our own well at home and we do sanitize the bottles before filling).

[tll]

Pink, sanitize in spring, drink.

Pink stuff and so not drink. Do not drink because I do not like air temperature water. We fill jugs with campground water and each are responsible for refilling our own bottles that are kept in the refrigerator.

All of the TT's I have owned over the years....

I don't blow out the lines, but do winterize with pink, then sanitize in the spring with a bleach mixture, but still don't drink. LOL. I guess we just like the taste of bottled water better, and it's ice cold out of the refridge.

Pink stuff only, don't drink....

Since we just bought our TT this fall, this winter will be my first time winterizing. But I've decided that I'm going to blow out the lines, put in the pink, and yes, we do drink from the TT's water system.

Pink, drink, sanitize once in a while.

Blow, No Drink.

Got used to carrying water for the show dogs and continue even though we no longer show.

There are more than those two groups.

Let the dealer put in the pink stuff, while I drink.

I blow out my lines first and then add the pink stuff. I never drink the water from the tanks. I never carry my own water in the tanks and don't trust the water at some parks. I always carry a 5 gallon jug of my own tap water to drink and make coffee. No bottle water for me.

Blow, vodka, blow again, then when dewinterizing, sanitize and drink.

[dfm]

Use the pink cool aid, bleach Sanitize and have a filter system. we drink it from the tank.

No blow, pink, don't drink. I would probably drink from the tap, but DW always brings bottled water.

🙂 Hi, I never winterize and never drink from the tank.
