Simple draining of the water heater (without winterization)
1 Stop the water pump or disconnect your water supply at the source.
2 Inside the trailer, turn off the water heater.
3 Outside the trailer, open the water heater access door.
Pull on the pressure valve and/or open a hot water tap to relieve the pressure.
4 Remove the drain plug, then lift the pressure discharge valve to facilitate drainage.
5 Once the water has drained, reinsert the drain plug.
If the plug shows signs of wear, replace it.
6 Reclose the pressure valve.
7 Turn on the water pump or connect your system to a water supply.
8 Open the hot water tap and leave it open until water begins to flow.
9 Turn the water heater back on with the switch inside your trailer.
DRINKING WATER SYSTEM
To avoid injury, ensure that no hot water remains before draining your water
heater. Turn off the water heater switch, open the hot water tap, and let it
run until the water flow cools to warm.
WARNING
Draining the water heater
If the trailer must be stored over winter, the water heater must be drained to avoid damage
from freezing. See the “Storage” section for more details.
You may also have to drain your water heater when you have connected to a source of
non-potable and/or contaminated water.
