2) Syphon filling from a water container; set the
valves to the SANITIZE setting. Insert a hose
into the City Water Fill inlet, place other end of
the hose in a container of water. Turn pump ON
to draw water into the tank. After the tank is full,
turn the pump OFF. Remove the hose and the
container. (To aid in siphoning place the container approximately 2 feet off the
ground) Drain valves must be closed.
4. Run water through all faucets (hot & cold, including
outside shower) until chlorine smell is gone.
Set the valves to the DRY CAMPING setting. Turn
the pump ON to send water through the lines.
5. Close all faucets including outside shower. Turn pump OFF.
6. Drain the system again, but don’t drain the water heater. Do not remove water heater
drain plug (if so equipped).
7. Close low point drains and fresh water tank drain.
8. Refill the fresh water tank with clean potable water. Use the City Water Fill
Connection Inlet, and one of the two methods explained in Step 3 above.
9. Open faucets and check that the chlorine taste is gone.
10. Drain the system one more time (See Draining Fresh Water System)
11. Remove the clear tube and replace the cartridge filter (if so equipped). Or remove Full
System Canister, insert filter, and reattach canister to the mount.
12. Refill the fresh water system with clean water.
13. After filling the water tank, set the valves to either DRY CAMPING or CITY
WATER in order for water to flow through the water heater again.
WINTERIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM
Preparing your RV for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and
Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines or the water heater to
freeze. Refer to the Uni-Dock Utility System section for setting details.
Use ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are
not covered under the terms of the Towable Limited Warranty.
NOTE: The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing. It is
recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during the winterization process
particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing system. Antifreeze should be
kept out of the water heater.
