I use a short length of 'retired' 1/2" water hose and just stick it in the jug. Making sure all of the valves are closed, including the water heater bypass, hook it to the winterize hose bib. I then turn on the pump. It will run for a while then shut off. I then go to the furthest faucet and run ithe pink into a clear bottle, saving it for the drain traps. Next do the bath sink, shower and toilet, finishing with the outside shower. You may have to change jugs after the second faucet as much of the first jug is in the water lines.



When done, hopefully none of that pink stuff has escaped into the HW heater or fresh water tank as it is a real bear to flush out in the spring -- and the lingering taste is terrible.


Glad I got ours donoe yesterday as the temp as I write this is 28F and staying chilly for another day or so
