Anti-Freeze freezing up?

[Big Dawg]

I have been winterizing for a few years, and have friends that have been doing it forever, and no one has had pipes burst from the antifreeze. I would not worry about it.

Being a mechanic all my life,I have never experienced this,Like someone else said,I should have read the label...

But is the stuff with propylene glycol safe for drinking water systems? Just curious....

Propylene glycol is considered non-toxic and in fact is employed in the food industry. I dealt with this product some years years ago as a OHS safety manger and as such can confirm that it's considered it safe for drinking water systems provided the proper flush and prep is carried out for said drinking system.
