13. Wipe the antifreeze out of the sinks, shower, and toilet using a soft, dry cloth.
Close the fresh water drain valve. Fill the fresh water tank with fresh water and rinse the RV
antifreeze from each faucet or appliance that was protected with the RV antifreeze.
Fill the fresh water tank using one of the following methods:
Connect a pressurized water source to the City Water inlet.
The city water valve (Fig 1) should be turned to the Tank Fill position (horizontal). Turn
water source ON and ll the tank.
Open the water tank compartment on the DOOR SIDE of the RV. Remove the
ll cap from the water tank. Insert a hose (connected to a fresh water source) into the water
tank. If there is a drain valve for the tank, it should be turned OFF. Turn water source ON
and ll the tank.
Turn o and disconnect the water source. Turn the pump ON. Turn the Water Pump Back-
ow valve ON. Purge all antifreeze out of the water lines by opening all faucets (including
outside shower).
Once all the antifreeze is out of the water lines, turn pump OFF, replace the canister water
lter, sanitize the system as necessary.
Press either button to ush and return to normal
condition.
Emptying the black tanks for the rst time in the
spring, will discharge antifreeze in the macerator pipe and ex hose.
Shower Miser (if so equipped)
The Shower Miser is a device attached to your inside shower that helps to conserve water
especially when you are dry camping and are restricted to the amount of water available in
your fresh water tank and don’t have ready access to a water supply.
The device is installed on the incoming water line for the shower and will circulate water
from your water heater, back into your fresh water tank until the water in the shower comes
up to temperature. This prevents needlessly dumping your limited supply of water waiting
for the shower to heat up.
The device consists of a small valve and a blue plastic “dot” below the shower handle.
When the small valve (on the Shower Miser) is in the closed (OFF) position, wasted cold
water is directed to the fresh water tank. No water will ow through the shower head. The
blue “dot” will be dark blue when cold water is running through the shower plumbing.
When the water is up to temperature, the blue “dot” will change color from a dark blue to
white which indicates the water owing into the show. Turn the small valve
the opposite direction (to ON) and turn on the shower valve so water ows out of the show-
erhead. The color change is obvious so there is no question when the water is at a comfort-
able temperature.
As you shower, the small Shower Miser valve can be turned OFF while you use the soap, so
water will divert into the fresh water tank instead of down the drain, and it keeps the water
up to temperature, so when you turn the Shower Miser valve back ON, you immediately
have hot water to rinse with.
Shower Miser will also ll the fresh water tank from inside the RV when hooked up to a
pressurized water source.
