Air Pressure Method
This method utilizes a blowout plug, an air compressor and an air hose to remove excess
water out of the water lines. A second person will make this job a little easier.
WARNING: RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE IS 30 PSI MAXIMUM.
Exceeding this air pressure may rupture water line couplings / seals and void your
warranty.
1.
Turn off the water heater gas valve typically
located outside the RV. Water heater power
should be OFF Turn off both ELECTRIC
and GAS switches at the command center
panel)
2.
Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system See
Draining the Fresh
Water System.
3.
Water heater bypass should be OFF which
will allow air to flow through the water
heater. If the drain plug is still in place, it
should be removed (as shown). Refer to the
Water Heater Bypass
section.
4.
RV water filter should be removed for winterizing. Refer to
Water Purification
System
section. Your RV may have one of two types of filters:
Full System Canister Filter:
On full system canister water filters (if so equipped),
remove the canister, take out the filter, and reattach the empty canister.
Cartridge Water Filter:
Remove the cartridge filter, and replace it with a bypass
tube typically supplied with your RV.
NOTE: Filters should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season or if
they have come into contact with contaminated water or antifreeze.
5.
Run the pump until it is dry (approximately 15 to 20 seconds). Operating the
pump longer than that with no water in it can damage the pump.
6.
Open all faucets in the RV. If there is an outside shower, attach the shower hose
to the shower, and open the shower faucets.
WARNING
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves/ drains 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.
CAUTION
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the air pressure
method is not adequate, winterizing with RV antifreeze
must
be used in the plumbing
system. Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of the
Towable
Limited Warranty
