Default How do I get rid of the foamy water?

You may remember my entry a few weeks ago under WINTERIZATION ...

Ok - put my name on the dummy list - guess I'll get a "good taste" of my mistake in a couple of weeks (pun intended!). I poured about 4 gallons of RV antifreeze into the fresh water tank - it took that much to get up above the outlet hose for the pump

Well - today we got the trailer out of storage, filled the fresh water holding tank about half full (mixed with the antifreeze), and pumped it through the lines. When it wouldn't pump any more, I opened all the drains to let everything run out. I closed the drains, re-filled the fresh water tank about half full and pumped it through again, then opened the drains again. I half-filled it a third time, drained it without pumping, half-filled it a fourth time, ran the pump a little bit, and I still have foamy water at the kitchen faucet. I drained the rest.

It doesn't smell, it's not pink, and it doesn't taste soapy, but I'm certain it's from the fresh water tank, because if I hook a hose to the fresh water inlet, I can get all faucets to run clean and clear. So here are my questions:

1) Is there some trick to making the foamy water go away, or do I just have to keep running fresh water into that tank until it runs clear in the faucets?

2) Obviously it doesn't matter in the toilet or for bathing, but if I can't make the foamy water go away completely, will this stuff make us ill?

P.S. Feel free to laugh and giggle at the dummy, just don't let it affect your typing.
