How long should you let it run to push that water out of the lines? Are you sure all/most of the water is gone or if diluted, how much ????

I run the faucets until I get pure pink and no sputtering.
I don't dump extra in the traps because I run it long enough to fill them. Maybe it's a waste but we get some winters when a weeks high will be 0. Not often but it happens.
