Using Nontoxic Antifreeze
Ten to twelve gallons of FDA approved RV antifreeze will be required to winterize the
motorhome.
WARNING:
Use only specifically designed, non-toxic, FDA Approved RV antifreeze for potable
water systems. NEVER use automobile engine antifreeze. If ingested, antifreeze can
cause serious injury or death.
W
ARNING:
Turn off the Aqua-Hot and allow it to cool before starting winterizing procedures. Hot
water can result in burn injuries. Disconnect all electrical connectors to the Aqua-Hot
before winterizing.
CAUTION:
It is recommended that a qualified RV service technician familiar with motorhomes,
such as an authorized dealer, perform the winterizing procedure.
1. Empty and flush the holding tanks.
2. It is not necessary to blow out the lines with air. Close valve located between water pump
and fresh water tank.
3. Locate filters in bay, remove filters, replace canisters.
4. Close all faucets, drain valves and low point drains.
5. There are two separate ways to pump RV Antifreeze into system:
a. If you have a pump for winterizing, (available at RV supply
locations) attach the "out" side of the pump to the waterline on
the outlet side of the motorhome water pump, the motorhome
winterizing connection if so equipped. Place the "in" side of the
winterizing pump attachment hose into the antifreeze source.
b. The gravity fill can be utilized to introduce approximately 8 to
10 gallons of FDA approved RV anti-freeze into the fresh water
tank. The valve between water pump and fresh water tank must
be in the open position.
