Draining the Fresh Water System
The low-point drain valves release water in the supply lines by
opening the valves and all faucets. The water heater has its own
drain plug. To drain the permanent fresh water holding tank and
supply lines:
1. OPEN all faucets.
2. OPEN the Fresh Water Holding Tank Gate Valve. This is the
white T-handle located under the RV, close to the axles.
See Photo, top right.
3. REMOVE the caps from the red and blue low point drains.
4. DRAIN the sink by removing the drain cap.
5. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to run as needed.
6. To drain the Water Heater use the
Normal Use Bypass Valve Positions.
7. ALWAYS use the water heater P & T Valve (Pressure
and Temperature Valve) to relieve any water pressure,
BEFORE removing the water heater drain plug.
◦ Even a small amount of water pressure may cause
water to spray out when the drain plug is removed.
◦ See Diagram, on page 14 (Tankless Water Heater)
or page 16 (6-Gallon Water Heater)
8. REMOVE the water heater drain plug.
◦ AFTER the water heater is finished draining,
REPLACE the drain plug.
After draining the Fresh Water System:
EMPTY the grey and black water holding tanks at an appropriate
facility or according to local public codes. It is normal for some
water to remain in the tanks after draining.
• See page 105 in your Owners Manual,
Emptying the Black & Grey Water Tanks.
