So, who's getting the Big Enchilada? Bama or Mizzoo?  Surprised Hogone didn't bring this up.  Guess he's skeered! Big smile

Folks, thanks for the information. I have some of these winterization items crossed off my list--still have a few items to cross off. Hope I have the most critical ones done, since we've already had freezing temps here in the deep south.

Lots of animals and a septic system here, too, but no worries about the pink stuff.  Propylene glycol, the active ingredient, is actually used as a cosmetic and food additive.

What you have to worry about is ethylene glycol, the stuff in automotive antifreeze.  That has a sweet taste so animals will drink it.... and it is deadly.

So, what's the poop on the "pink?"

the plumbing antifreeze is non toxic but if you did not want to dunp it on the ground you could collect it from the low point drains. You remove most of it by pumping water throung the lines so most of it will end up in tbe waiste tanks.
