(I think most do it this way) Anyway the water really stunk with the pink antifreeze. We are on our third full water tank and although the water hasn't been pink it still stinks. It's not as strong but it's there. When any of you winterize does it take a more than three full water tanks to get the smell out? I am assuming it's the antifreeze. I don't know what else it could be. Thank you.
Normally when I de-winterize After flushing out the antifreeze the first thing I do is sanitize the tanks and lines with a chlorine solution per the owners manual. After doing this and sanitizing my fresh water hose as well I have never had a stinky water situation unless it was the result of the local water supply at a campground.
