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)

Pink and sometimes drink, mostly we drink from the local well/faucet or bottled water. We're often at a site with no water and no way to easily fill our tank and our tank is not real big so we try and conserve which is one reason we fill a water cooler from the local supply at camp and drink that.

I blow the blackflush, but pink and drink. I also use a filter into the camper and a filter at the sink.
