Section 8: Plumbing System
NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb-
ing configurations between models.
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be winterized. Re-
fer to the appliance owner's manual for additional information or contact your
Dealer or Customer Service for assistance.
The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing.
DO NOT DRAIN
THE WATER HEATER WHILE IT IS HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE!
Antifreeze
should be kept out of the tank (storage) water heater.
NOTE: The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by us-
ing RV antifreeze in the plumbing system.
Winterize 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. Antifreeze should
never
enter the water
heater, RV water filter, refrigerator, refrigerator water filter, or fresh water tank.
1.
Turn water heater power OFF. The Gas and Electric switches inside the RV at the
Command Center should be OFF.
The water heater should never be drained when
HOT or under pressure.
2.
Level the RV and drain the fresh water plumbing system. Refer to
Draining the Fresh
Water System.
3.
Water heater should be empty after draining the plumbing system.
Water heater must
be BYPASSED.
4.
Remove water filter:
Cartridge Style:
Replace filter with the bypass tube supplied with the RV.
Canister Style:
Remove the lid, remove the filter, and replace the lid.
5.
Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are
closed
. This includes
the refrigerator/washer low point drains (if so equipped).
6.
Set the colored valves to WINTERIZE setting:
Blue handle pointing left
White handle pointing right
Red handle pointing right
Green handle pointing left
7.
Attach a short hose to the CITY WATER inlet. Place the other end of the hose in a
container of antifreeze. Do
NOT
use your fresh water hose for winterizing.
8.
Turn the water pump ON with the pump switch on the utility center panel (LED indica-
tor light will be lit if the pump has power). Antifreeze will be drawn into the water lines
when a fixture in the RV is opened. To aid in siphoning, place the container approxi
-
mately (2) feet off the ground. The drain valves must be closed.
9.
Open the hot water faucets one at a time (kitchen/bath sinks, shower, outside shower
and outside kitchen (if equipped) until RV antifreeze begins to flow continuously. Then
close each faucet.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze
(methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in your fresh water sys-
tem. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
