Thanks for the comments. As for aftertaste from antifreeze, both PEX and the FW tank are made from polyethylene. The PEX lines are HDPE and the FW tank is low density roto-cast polyethylene. The PEX lines don't absorb the "off flavor ingredients" from the RV antifreeze, but the polyethelene fresh water tank because of the type of polyethylene, does tend to absorb the odor and aftertaste...
Also, not sure if you're old enough to have "regular colonoscopies" yet, but the main ingredient in RV antifreeze is either ethanol (a poison used to "dilute" gasoline) or Polyethylene glycol, the same ingredient that's used in bowel cleansing (Mira-Lax)... Honestly, I don't want to drink either. One will kill you and the other will make you wish you would just go ahead and die.....
