I do air, pink, air. Overkill but the first air removes most of the water so the pink isn't diluted. The pink removes the last of the water. The second air removes most of the pink so I'm ready to use the system at any time. Also, the half gallon of pink that I recover is the right amount for the traps so I actually use less. I also use a plunger on the traps to remove most of the water to reduce any dilution.

I did the air thing twice and had unexpected problems. One year the toilet sprayer and the ice maker and the next year the outside shower.

I now use the pink stuff. The 25.00 I spend on it is well worth it. I draw it through everything and stop worrying. Also, it helps to have pink stuff in the low part of the holding tanks.
