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.
Drain the fresh water plumbing system. Refer to
Draining the Fresh Water System.
Parking the RV on level ground will aid in draining the plumbing system.
2.
Remove water filter:
Cartridge Style:
Replace filter with the bypass tube supplied with the RV.
3.
Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are
closed
. This includes
the refrigerator low point drains (if so equipped).
4.
Set the colored valves to WINTERIZE setting (refer to the Utility Center label for valve
configuration).
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
Repeat with all the cold water line faucets (kitchen/bath sinks, shower, outside shower.
When you are finished adding RV antifreeze:
1.
Turn the water pump OFF with the switch on the utility center panel.
2.
Remove hose and container from the CITY WATER inlet. Put the cap back on the inlet.
Leave the colored valves in WINTERIZE position.
3.
Wipe any RV antifreeze out of the sinks, with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact your dealer if you require further assistance.
Winterize with Air Pressure
This method uses compressed air to blow out any remaining water in the system after ini-
tially draining water lines using drain valves.
Tools required would be an air compressor
and a blowout plug.
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.
