Winterizing
To store your unit for the winter months, it is necessary to winterize the water system to help prevent freezing. To
do this, follow these instructions:
1.
The water heater must remain off during this process. Shut off the water pump and make sure the water
supply valves are closed.
2.
To drain the fresh water tank, open the drain valves.
3.
Open the low point drain valves. There is one drain valve for each water line, one cold and one hot. This is
done to drain all of the water out of the system.
4.
After the water heater has cooled off, remove the drain plug to drain the water from
the water heater. In the exterior compartment beside the water heater there are two
water heater shut off valves and a by-pass valve. The shut off valves must be closed
and the by-pass valve must be open, prior to winterizing to prevent the antifreeze
solution from entering the water heater.
5.
Close the low point drains to prevent the antifreeze from draining through the lines
onto the ground.
6.
Remove the water filter. See Chapter 7 for more information.
7.
Close the water supply valve that flows from the pump to the tank.
8.
Use only non-toxic antifreeze that has been approved for use in drinking/potable water systems. Place the in-
take hose into the antifreeze supply. Open the antifreeze valve to allow the solution to flow freely. Once the
water pump is turned on, proceed to the kitchen faucet, bath faucet, inside and outside shower, turning on the
hot and cold, and flushing the stool until the antifreeze solution flows freely. If the unit is equipped with a
washer, be certain to purge the air from it also. This forces the antifreeze through all of the water lines and
faucets. It also allows the antifreeze solution to enter the drain lines and prevent the P-traps from freezing.
Check the antifreeze solution from time to time to make sure there is an adequate supply.
