in Heating/Plumbing & Winterizing
After de-winterizing my t@B months ago, I turned on the fresh water pump to the sink; water came out and then I shut it off….Water drained out the fresh water drain in the Alde System AND Glycol was found in the sewer water…have I cross connected something?

    There is no way to cross the systems. The two are completely separate. Are you sure what you thought to be glycol from the heating system, was not potable antifreeze that was still in the system, potentially, the hot water system? 

    When you de-winterized, did you flush all of the lines, hot and cold, and the Alde hot water tank?

    That would be my thinking as well, some antifreeze left over.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    possible reasons for the glycol but why is water coming our the alde cold water line…my valve shows it is closed?
