WINTERISATION / STORAGE
Winterisation
The Swift Group recommends the following
winterisation points for customers.
Servicing
Arrange (in advance) the yearly service and
habitation check, if the motorhome's next
service is due while the vehicle is stored.
Plumbing
Water expands as it is frozen, and so trapped
water, when it expands, can damage the tap
/ valve /pump or pipe it is trapped within. For
this reason, (in addition to reasons of hygiene),
the water system should be fully drained when
not in use, particularly in colder weather.
• Open the fresh water tank drain valve to
drain the tank
• Open the drain valve (yellow handle) next to
water heater, and leave open.
• Fully open all the taps and shower mixer,
move mixer position to the middle, and leave
all taps in the open position.
• Unscrew the shower head and shower hose,
shake out remaining water and allow water
to drain. It is advised to leave the shower
head and hose disconnected.
• Run pump for a short time, until all water
is expelled.
• After a short while the majority of water will
have left the plumbing system. At this point
however it is still important to ensure that the
pump itself is 'dry'. During this part of the
winterisation, a suitable absorbent cloth or
container should be used to catch a small
amount of spilled water that will result.
Disconnect the pipe work from the pump by
pulling the blue quick release tabs, at either
side of the pump, at right angles to the pipe
work, then pulling the pipe and connectors
from the pump. See Fig.1 Run the pump for a
short while to expel any remaining water within
the pump.

• This is a good time to de-assemble and
clean the pump filter. Squeeze either side of
the filter housing to release the retaining tabs
and pull the filter cassette out of the housing.

• Open the waste tank drain valve, collecting
the waste water in a suitable container, and
leave open. Dispose of the waste water in a
designated waste water area, clean waste
pipes and tanks using a sterilising fluid.
