I am heading up soon to close the camp. Many recommend using anti-freeze in the drains to prevent ice once we have cleared the system. I know there are some options which have minimal impact on septic and such but am wondering ... has anyone used vodka instead? This seems like a relatively cheap alternative, and one that does not use anti-freeze and all the fun chemicals it contains. My googling has revealed a little info on this but am curious if any other cabin closers out there have used and found success this way.
Thanks in advance  |
The antifreeze you should be using is "RV Antifreeze" which is completely non toxic and safe for your septic system. It is also good to -50 below zero. And at less than $3.00 per gallon much cheaper than any vodka (or any vodka I would drink!!) out there...
