RV antifreeze seems much cheaper (<$4/gallon) than Pool antifreeze when I search (~$10-30/gallon). But this article says they are the same thing.

I have blown out my lines to the point where (unless water gets past the rubber stoppers) they only will have ice chips in them if they freeze. But the skimmer will likely collect water and water might get past the threads.
Does anyone here have any opinions on this?

This article also says the two are the same but just different colors. I agree that blue is better for pools. But I guess if I make an attempt in the spring to recapture the antifreeze with the shop vac, then maybe I don’t need to worry about it.

Lowes had the RV anti-freeze for the same <$4/gallon price.

Looks like the skimmer might be getting stained pink. Maybe not worth the savings. Blue would not be weird since the water looks blue in summer.
