WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZATION
Adding Plumbing Non-Toxic Antifreeze
o
Switch off the water pump inside and
disconnect the garden hose at city water
outside.
o
Switch off the water heater inside.
o
Switch off the water heater at the outside
switch.
o
Switch off propane in the outside utility
compartment.
o
Drain the fresh water tank. You may want to
leave the water tank valve open for winter
storage.
o
Relieve the water pressure by opening the
hot and cold taps on any faucet.
o
Close valves. (NO AIR PSI/WINTERIZATION
FLUID IS TO ENTER THE WATER HEATER)
o
Valve should remain closed at this point.
o
Open valve.
o
Remove the water filter canister.
o
Remove the filter cartridge from the canister
and reinstall the water filter canister (make
sure it is tight.)
o
Store the filter cartridge in a warm, dry place.
o
Drain the water heater (avoid the risk of
being scalded). Outside at the yellow easy
drain level, lift the black clip and fold down
the yellow easy drain lever. Remove the
water inlet filter and store in a warm, dry
place. Close the yellow easy drain lever.
o
Place the suction hose attached to the
winterize valve in the utility compartment
into a non-toxic plumbing antifreeze
container and turn the valve to the winterize
position (making sure the city water/tank fill
valve is in the city water position) in order to
not get antifreeze into the fresh water tank.
o
Switch on the water pump inside and pump
antifreeze through all hot and cold faucets on
at a time and the outside shower until pink
antifreeze appears.
o
Go inside and switch off the water pump. You
can now open the valve at the water heater
inside to drain and relieve the pressure in the
water lines.
o
Access the water pump inside the coach,
unscrew the filter bowl to access the screen,
remove the screen and clean the screen and
filter bowl with fresh water before
reinstalling both components on the water
pump.
o
Go outside and remove the screen from the
city water fill connection, depress the center
stem until no more fluid drains out (you may
or may not see any fluid), and replace the
screen in the city water fill connection.
o
Turn the winterize valve to normal flow and
place the suction hose in the utility
compartment.
o
Remove the water filter canister from under
the sink.
o
Empty the antifreeze from the canister and
reinstall the water filter canister (making sure
it is tight).
o
Remove the cap from the black tank San-T-
Flush connection in the utility compartment
and attach the blowout plug to the San-T-
Flush connection.
o
Blow compressed air through the San-T-Flush
connection for about 15 seconds, then
remove the blowout plug and replace the cap
on the San-T-Flush connection.
o
Drain the black and grey waste holding tanks.
(Pull the black waste tank level first and wait
for it to empty then pull the grey waste tank
level.)
o
Make sure tanks are empty and put 1 cup of
antifreeze down each sink drain, shower
drain and toilet.
