WATER SYSTEMS
DIPLOMAT 2004
Winterizing Using Air Pressure:
To use air pressure to winterize the motorhome you will need access to an
air compressor and an adapter to connect the air line to the water system.
Adapters can be found at any RV supply store. When hooked to the water
lines the pressure should not exceed 40 psi. Higher pressure can damage the
lines.
1. Empty and flush the holding tanks.
2. Drain the fresh water tank by opening the drain valve located
inside the water service center of the motorhome.
3. Drain the water heater and open all low-point drains in the water
service center. Leave low-point valves open until the motorhome
is used again. Remove gallery filter and install diverter cap.
4. Let all the water drain.
5. Turn the pump on and allow it to run until all water is cleared out
of the pump and lines. Turn the pump off.
6. After water lines are drained, hook an air hose to the water
hose reel located in the water control panel in the outside
service compartment. Turn tank fill/city water valve to city
water. Blow out the water lines until no further water can be
seen coming out of the low point drains. Do not exceed 40 psi in
the water lines and faucets.
7. Open all faucets, hot and cold valves (including the outside
spigot), one at a time while the air is on, to clear water from the
faucet supply lines. Do not forget the shower faucet.
8. While the air is on, hold the spray nozzle (located right next to
the toilet) open until the water has quit running. Hold the toilet
flush pedal or handle up until the water has stopped running.
9. Unhook the air hose.
10. One (1) gallon of RV antifreeze is needed to protect various
water drain lines in the motorhome. Pour 1 pint into both the
kitchen and bath shower drains. Pour 2 pints into the bath sink
drain, with some of the antifreeze going into grey tank to protect
the drain valve. Open the ball valve on the toilet. Pour another 3
pints into the toilet, letting the antifreeze run into the black tank
to protect the valve located there. Pour one pint of antifreeze into
the toilet after you have released the flush pedal. Use a soft cloth
to wipe out the sinks and shower (after the antifreeze is poured
in) to protect the surfaces from stains. Pour the last pint into the
washer/dryer drain.
11. Leave the low-point drains open until the motorhome is used
again.
WARNING: When draining the low water drain lines and
the water heater ensure the water is not hot. Hot water
from the lines can burn or injure skin.
