In some cases, the cartridge may be defective, and you&rsquo;ll need to replace it.</p></div>

Q: Can antifreeze be poured down the drain?

• <div><p>You should never pour antifreeze down the drain or outside on the ground. Because it's highly toxic, antifreeze can still impact people and animals long after it drains. Antifreeze can contaminate water and sewage systems, and any that gets into storm drains and water supplies can attract animals and harm those that ingest it.</p></div>

Q: Should you leave outside faucets dripping in freezing weather?

• <div><p>Yes, you should leave outside faucets dripping in freezing weather to prevent frozen and burst pipes. While a drip doesn't always prevent freezing, ice is less likely to form and there's less pressure in your pipes, meaning they&rsquo;re less likely to burst. You can also winterize your outdoor faucets, eliminating the need to run a drip.</p></div>
