I use the pink stuff exclusively now.
Have you read the warning label on the pink stuff? Says to call a physician immediately if it's digested. lol

To be honest, we do not drink water from our RV system and we always bring bottled water for consumption. We don't even drink the tap water in our home even though they tell us it's safe.

We also thoroughly flush out our water lines when we hook up in the Spring. And I've had other discussions with people on this forum and they do drink the water in their RV system, and, they use compressed air to winterize their camper.

I'm sure some of that debris will come out of the air line but most of it winds up at the bottom of the compressors tank and I always drain it after using it.
