My AS was winterized by an RV shop back in October. As I was tinkering with the AS this weekend, trying to completely familiarize myself with everything, I first noticed that one of the Low Point Drains has a broken valve, which I'll worry about later. I looks like I can still see the ball inside the stem of the broken valve. But when I opened the other valve, expecting to see some anti-freeze come out, it appeared to be 100% water. Shouldn't anti-freeze have made it to the low point valves? I called the RV shop and they said they do indeed put in anti-freeze. Thanks for any help.
If the shop did not open the low point drains to allow the water to be pushed out by the antifreeze there could have been a slug of water trapped there.

Did you open any other faucet to see what came out? If the AS was properly winterized with antifreeze, any faucet you open, including the low point valve, will have antifreeze come out, not water. That's the whole point of winterizing - getting rid of water in all the lines.
