No not entirely...in the beginning I just drained the FW tank, poured 3gal in, and pumped it thru the system.
That lasted for 4 seasons. Got tired of tasting AF even after flushing the tank & lines 3 or 4 times.
I finally got an extra 40' of air line for the garage compressor so I could use it to blow the water lines in the AS. (a small 5-10gal pancake compressor will also work just fine).
After completely blowing the ALL,(shower head), the lines for 15-20mi,
I blow out the WH for 10min.
Add AF to all the traps and seal lubricant to the toilet valve.
If there is no water in the lines after all that blowing, is AF really needed? I haven't found it so.👍
