Section 8: Plumbing System
Re-flush the system with the vinegar solution through the faucets (steps 11 to 13) until chlo
-
rine smell is gone. Then flush the system again with fresh water.
ONLY after the vinegar
solution has been flushed out of the lines with fresh water, replace the water filter and set the
water heater bypass valves back to the normal position (hot & cold supply valves ON and
middle valve OFF).
Winterizing the Plumbing System
Preparing your motor home for colder weather or storage is very important for most states
and Canada. Failure to prepare your motor home may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze.
Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of the “Motor-
ized Limited Warranty” applicable to the motor home.
No commodity or product should be added to the fresh water system to ensure freeze
protection other than RV antifreeze.
Winterizing the Aqua-Hot System:
Aqua-Hot requires RV antifreeze in the potable water
chamber to insure the heating coil is protected from freeze damage. The motor home anti-
freeze winterizing feature is located in the outside utility center.
Refer to the Aqua-Hot
owner’s manual for additional details.
When to winterize:
At the end of the camping season.
When the motor home will be exposed to temperatures at or below, 32°F (0°C).
The preferred method for winterizing your motor home is to use RV antifreeze in the plumb-
ing system.
NOTE:
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be
winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for possible additional
information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for assistance.
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in
the closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low
point drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If
you have questions, consult with your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is
the preferred method of winterization.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer an-
tifreeze (methanol) are poisonous
.
Never
use these products in your
fresh water system. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swal-
lowed.
Use only
RV antifreeze.
If the motor home is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled envi-
ronment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the demand
(power) system with RV antifreeze
must
be used in the motorhome plumbing
system as directed in this manual (this would include appliances such as the
washer, dishwasher and the residential refrigerator).
