Winterizing with Antifreeze Method
Requires non-toxic RV antifreeze in the water lines and does not require any special tools.
Use
ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE
in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
1.
Turn power to the water heater OFF (both electric and LP Gas switches).
2.
Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water plumbing system (see Draining
the Fresh Water System).
3.
Set the water heater bypass valves to
BYPASS
– Refer to appropriate water heater
bypass diagram for your model.
4.
Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are all closed.
5.
Refer to
Fig 1
: The siphon valve should be turned ON. The water tank shutoff valve
should be turned OFF. This will prevent antifreeze from entering the water tank.
6.
Place the end of the clear plastic hose into a container of RV antifreeze.
7.
Turn the water pump switch ON. Antifreeze will siphon into the water lines when a
fixture is opened. To aid in siphoning, place the antifreeze container on a flat surface
2 feet above the ground.
8.
Beginning at the fixture location farthest from the pump (which would include the out
-
side shower (if equipped), open the hot faucet until antifreeze runs out, and then shut
off the faucet. Open the cold faucet and shut it off when antifreeze runs out. Repeat
this procedure for all hot/cold fixtures. This would also include an outside kitchen sink
if equipped.
9.
Hold open the lever on the toilet until antifreeze runs into the bowl.
When you finished adding RV antifreeze
10. Turn the water pump OFF. Remove the plastic hose from the container. Turn the
siphon valve OFF.
11. Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into all sink drain P-traps.
12. To prevent staining, wipe the RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub) and toilet
using a soft, dry cloth.
In the spring when flushing antifreeze out of the lines:
1.
Set the city water valve at the utility center to the
CITY
position.
2.
Attach a pressurized water source to the fresh water inlet on the utility center.
3.
At the water pump, the tank shutoff valve should be OFF. Siphon valve should be OFF.
Do NOT turn on the water pump.
4.
Open all drain lines including the fresh water tank.
5.
Turn on the water source and open the faucets (hot and cold). When the water is clear
coming out of a faucet, turn it off. Include the outside shower, outside kitchen and the
toilet.
NOTE:
Antifreeze should
never
enter a tank type (storage) water
heater.
