I was surprised nobody has recently started yet, another thread regarding winterizing as we enter the long, cold, dark season (at least here in MI).
I have read all of the different suggestions and methods of winterizing, however none of them mentions anything about winterizing your system when you also use a water softener. I have one in my setup and was wondering how I should winterize the whole system? Last year I simply kept a milkhouse heater with a thermostat set on 45 degrees near my equipment. I would prefer not to do that this year because I no longer hold shares in the electric company here. So, how should I winterize" My setup is as follows:
300' garden hose (inlet) that leads to a digital water softener, which is made of PLASTIC...25' garden hose from water softener to a 275 gal water tank...3' hose to the PW'er...4' hose to 150' high pressure hose (outlet).
I really don't think it would be a good idea to run antifreeze through a water softener...would it?
