De-winterizing your RV
1 Reinsert the water heater drain plug and ensure that the pressure valve is closed.
2 Place the water heater in Bypass mode.
3 Connect to a municipal water system.
4 One tap at a time, open each cold water tap and accessory (including the shower
head and outdoor showers). Reclose each tap before moving to the next one.
Allow each to run until the water loses its pinkish colour and runs clear.
Repeat for the hot water system, again one tap at a time.
5 Activate the toilet flush until the water in the bowl runs clear.
6 Fill the fresh water tank.
7 Activate the pump, run the water a few seconds to eliminate any trace of
antifreeze that might remain in the pump.
8 Place the water heater in Normal mode to fill it.
9 Empty the tanks again(waste water, drinking water, hot water, etc.).
10 If a water filtration system has been installed, reinstall a new filter and fill the
water system.
11 Run water in your toilet tank and add deodorant to the septic tank as indicated
on your RV deodorant.
Do not attempt to turn on the water heater or use the plumbing system
after it has been prepared for winter. De-winterize the system, and rinse
and disinfect the water system before using it.
