3. After water has been drained, use an air hose from
compressor and an adapter attached to city water fill. In about
3 to 5 minutes all water will be blown out of system.
4. Pour one (1) cup (12 oz) of non-toxic RV anti-freeze into each
P-Trap. Each sink has a P-Trap, as does the bathtub.
Method 2:
The water heater bypass kit is designed and built to avoid having
antifreeze in the water heater.
1. Be sure to turn off the pump.
2. Drain the water heater and the entire water system.
3. Close the valve on the bottom and top of the by pass kit to
prevent liquid from entering the water heater.
4. Place siphon hose into container with anti-freeze.
5. Open the valve on the siphon hose, which is valve V-1 from
diagram on page 48. Valve V-2 needs to be closed.
6. Turn on the pump to supply the fresh water system with anti-
freeze. It will take 2 gallons or more, depending on the size of
the coach.
7. Close faucets when lines are full. Allow 1 pint of antifreeze to
enter in each of the three traps.
8. Shut off the pump. You may wish to re-open the faucets to
remove pressure from the lines.
BY PASS KIT
Valve in horizontal position allows water to flow into and through
water heater. Valves of by-pass are choice directional flow, not a
shut off.
When both valves are in vertical position, it will prevent water from
flowing through the water heater. Now you can send anti-freeze
liquid through coach plumbing system without filling water heater.
Using the Water System During Freezing Weather. Your towable
RV was not intended to be used during freezing weather unless
special precautions are taken. Water freezes at 32° Fahrenheit in
campgrounds or at home.
There is no product that can be added to the water to ensure freeze
protection when the system is in use, other than RV anti-freeze.
DO NOT drink water which contains anti-freeze.
