Section 8: Plumbing System
1. Turn power to the water heater OFF (both electric and LP gas switches.
2. Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water plumbing system. See Draining
the Fresh Water System.
3. Replace the water filter cartridge (if so equipped) with the plastic bypass hose.
If RV has a canister water filter, turn off water to the filter (valves should be on either
side of the filter). Remove the lid, remove the filter, replace the lid. Turn on the water
valves.
4. Water heater should now be empty after performing Step 2. The water heater bypass
valves should be set to BYPASS . Refer to 2-Valve Water Heater Bypass section.
5. Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are all closed. Low
point drains are typically located inside the basement access cover for hot and cold
water lines.
6. Open the basement access cover to locate the
BLACK and WHITE water valves and set
them to SANITIZE/WINTERIZE positions
(as shown).
7. Place the end of the clear plastic hose into a
container of RV antifreeze.
8. Turn the water pump switch ON. Antifreeze
will siphon into the water lines when a fix -
ture is opened. To aid in siphoning, place
the container of antifreeze on a flat surface 2
feet above the ground. All drains should be
closed to create a siphon.
9. Open each hot water faucet one at a time, including outside shower and outside kitchen
(if so equipped) until RV antifreeze begins to flow continuously then close the water
faucet. Repeat for all hot water faucets.
10. Repeat Step 8 with the cold water faucets including outside shower and outside kitchen
(if equipped).
11. Hold open the lever on the toilet until antifreeze runs into the bowl.
12. Appliances should be winterized to prevent damage. Refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes
washer should be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for instructions
or call Customer Service.
Winterizing the Macerator System (if so equipped)
1. Ensure all tanks are empty.
2. Pour RV antifreeze into the empty black water tank (through the toilet bowl).
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.
NOTE: Antifreeze should never enter the hot water heater or the water
filter.
