I turned on the water pump and went to each spigot and turned it on. I was told to watch for the pink antifreeze to come out. It never really came out pink. There was a lot of sputtering and frothy liquid coming out. No, not clear like water, but not pink. It also had a bit of an alcohol scent.
Did I not use enough antifreeze and it diluted? Granted, water doesn’t froth, so I’m hoping that I’ve got at least some weak antifreeze in the pipes.
An additional data point is that I poured about 1/2 cup of bleach into the tank for the last few miles before draining the clear water tank.
On my 150 gallon clear tank, how many gallons of antifreeze should I use?

I know, I know, questions, questions...

The RV is a 2017 Thor Outlaw 38RE.
Never put antifreeze in your FW tank. Install this between the pump and the FW tank. My 32' trailer take 2 gals. your MH will use a bit more depending on the plumbing.
