I'm curious why a lot if antifreeze is needed. If the water tanks, heater and 
plumbing are drained as dry as gravity will make them before inserting the 
antifreeze, I find it only takes 1/2 a gallon or so to winterized the fresh 
water system on the Landfall.

to anti freeze and the annual fresh water flush

Winter's over so now it's time to start getting all the winterized systems 
ready to use. Has anyone got any good way to get the antifreeze taste out of 
the water system, other than just repeated flushing with fresh water?
A pal of mine suggests that the best way to winterize the FW system is with 
(cheap) Vodka. Can anyone think of a reason that wouldn't work? You certainly 
wouldn't have the hassle of flushing the system in the spring. I wonder if the 
alcohol would rot to rubber in the pump?
