Winterizing
If water is allowed to freeze in the system, damage to the
plumbing and pump may occur. To protect against damage
from freezing, completely drain the tank, pump and
plumbing and perform winterizing tasks.
NOTE:
When used per RVIA’s recommendations, non-
toxic antifreeze for potable water is safe for use in the
pump.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE TO
WINTERIZE POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS. SUCH
SOLUTIONS ARE HIGHLY TOXIC. INGESTION MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1.
Drain the water tank.
NOTE:
If the tank doesn’t have a drain valve, open all
faucets while allowing the pump to operate (15 minutes
on/15 minutes off) until the tank is empty.
2.
Open all the faucets, including the lowest valve or drain
in the plumbing, and allow the pump to purge the water
from the plumbing. Then turn off the pump.
3.
Using a pan to catch the remaining water, remove the
hoses at the pump’s inlet and outlet ports.
4.
Turn the pump on, allowing it to operate until the water is
expelled.
5.
Once the plumbing is emptied of water, turn off power to
the pump. Do not reconnect the hoses to the pump.
6.
Make a note at the water tank’s filler cap as a reminder:
“Plumbing is disconnected. Do not fill.”
7.
Leave all faucets open to guard against damage.
NOTE:
Sanitize the plumbing system before putting it back
into service. See Sanitizing section.
