We all have a winterizing method. I stopped blowing out the lines when I blew camp water check valve.
I pump antifreeze through the water pump, out each faucet and down the drain. Then I open the low point drains and make sure some antifreeze flows out the pipes.
Then I flush a bit more antifreeze though the faucets and down the drain.
This leaves antifreeze in the P traps and some in the black and gray tanks to mix with their residual water.
Remember, the hot water tank has been drained and bypassed before starting the winterizing process.
