9. Turn on the pump.
10. Open all faucets, one at a time, hot and cold starting with the faucet farthest from the
pump. Turn the faucet off when you see antifreeze. Hold the toilet flush mechanism open
until antifreeze appears.
11. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks and shower to protect surfaces from antifreeze stains.
12. One gallon of FDA approved RV antifreeze is needed to protect various water drain lines in
the motorhome. Pour one pint into both the kitchen and bath shower drains. Pour two pints
into the bath sink drain. This will protect the P-traps, with some of the antifreeze going into
the grey tank to protect the drain valve. Open the valve on the toilet. Pour another three
pints into the toilet, letting the antifreeze run into the black tank to protect the drain valve.
Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks, shower and toilet (after the antifreeze is poured in)
to protect the surfaces from stains. Pour the last pint into the washer/dryer drain.
13. Disconnect power to Water Pump.
NOTE:
Clean up antifreeze spills immediately to prevent permanent staining.
NOTE:
Ensure the water is not hot when draining the low-point drain lines. Hot water from
the lines can cause burn injuries.
NOTE:
Some items require special winterizing instructions, which can be found in the specific
owner's manuals.
De-Winterization
To dewinterize drain and fill the fresh tank with water, connect the power to the water pump.
Operate all faucets, one at a time, until clear water is present.
NOTE:
Depending on length of storage, the fresh water tank may need to be sanitized.
CAUTION:
The first two trays of ice from the icemaker may contain contaminants. Discard and
replenish the icemaker as necessary.
