You've got to be kidding! Pink antifreeze in your freshwater holding tank?
That's not at all recommended. Break a fitting just before your freshwater
pump and tap a flexhose to it and stick it in the jug of pink and
fill/flush
your lines that way. Pink should never go in the tank..

Be careful with sweeping generalities Bob and the use of the word "never".
I've got 5 separate water tanks that feed through an isolation manifold
with significant lengths of "hidden" piping before they find their way to
the freshwater pump. Not all of this piping will drain on its own. It may
sound like a bad design at first, but having multiple, isolated water
supplies on a long passage may prove to be a good thing when a water line
breaks and a single water tank drains 1000 miles out to sea and your trusty
bilge pump quietly moves it from the bilge to the sea!
If I follow your advice, will you come to Mystic, CT in the Spring to
replace the inaccessible plastic tubing that has split? Not all boats may
be a simple as yours and each owner needs to understand what will work best
on his or her vessel.
