Before pumping the pink stuff I have already completely blown out my water lines with air, including the washer. I start the washer on a wash cycle with the air hooked up, you can hear water initially come into the washer then the "whoosh" of air escaping. I then put it on "Drain" and restart the washer to pump out the drum. I do twice, once with the water temp knob turned to Hot, again with it on Cold to get the lines clear.
Then I do the antifreeze, following the Splendide instructions pumping pink stuff through both the cold and hot water lines into the washer using the onboard pump drawing the antifreeze from a 5-gallon pail I fill and have sitting at the wet bay. My Atwood water heater is bypassed so antifreeze is flowing through both the hot and cold water piping and into the washer.
Then I drain the washer using the spin cycle as the winterizing instructions state which puts antifreeze into the P-trap for the washer thereby protecting that trap.
