Thanks.
Never thought of that, but we typically never leave our home for more than a couple months at any time. Also, we have snowflake friends and we check each others homes whenever one of us gets to the Villages and always run water in each sink and tub/shower. That being said, I winterize our family lake house each year and put RV antifreeze in all the traps. RV antifreeze is inexpensive and is designed to evaporate very slowly.
