    David, to limit the "almond" smell in the spring try
    this, it works for me.

    -- Winterize you system with the pink stuff.
    -- After you're done, disconnect the pressure hose
    from your fresh water pump.
    -- Set a portable air compressor to 40psi and attach
    it to the pressure hose previously removed (facing the
    boat's plumbing not the pump).
    Go to each fresh water device and turn on the
    water--one at a time. Do this a few times and you
    will almost totally eliminate the pink stuff and
    therefore the spring smell.
    -- Disconnect the water line from the water tank to
    the pump and turn the pump of for a few seconds to
    pump out the pink stuff from the line.
    -- In the spring run lots of water through the water
    tanks that still have the hose disconnected or drains
    open. This will eliminate or at least significantly
    reduce the amount of dilluted pink stuff that you'll
    be pumping through your system.

    You might ask why put the pink stuff in if you're
    going to blow the lines. It's just cheap insurance
    for anything that may not get blown out.

    Gil
