I need to set up a quick and easy way to protect a dishwasher, a clothes
washer and a water softener from freezing...

My first plan is to solder a Tee and two valves in the water line near each
unit. Switch valves so that an air hose can pressure blow unit out. (I'll be
doing this through out the water system to blow all water lines out) Or, do
I need to get more fancy and figure some way to pump RV antifreeze in?
Anybody got an idea on a quick easy way to pump a couple quarts in?

fill the water softener with brine and it will not freeze. the
dishwasher and washer are more problematic. Even blowing them out can
leave water in the vulnerable valves.


What the hell are people doing with dishwashers in cabins, anyway?
Sheesh! Use paper plates while on vacation. Wash the pans by hand. Use
a laundry tub and hang dry. That's an easy fix. Live the Country Life,
