Winterizing the Plumbing System

Preparing your motorhome for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and Canada.
Failure to prepare your motorhome may cause water supply lines and the water heater to freeze. Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of the “Motorized Limited Warranty” applicable to the motorhome. No commodity or product should be added to the freshwater system to ensure freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.

Winterizing the Aqua-Hot System:
Aqua-Hot requires RV antifreeze in the potable water chamber to insure the heating coil is protected from freeze damage. The motorhome anti-freeze winterizing feature is located in the outside utility center. Refer to the Aqua-Hot owner’s manual for additional details.

NOTE: Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for additional informa-tion or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for assistance. Included in your warranty packet you should find instructions to winterize a Whirlpool residential refrigerator (P/N 0311859).

WARNING:

1. Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low-point drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have questions, consult with your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is the preferred method of winterization.
2. Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze (methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in your freshwater system. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed. Use only RV antifreeze.

CAUTION:
If the motorhome is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled envi-ronment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the demand (power) system with RV antifreeze must be used in the motorhome plumbing system as directed in this manual (this would include appliances such as the washer, dishwasher and the residential refrigerator).

Winterizing with antifreeze
This method adds antifreeze to the water lines for freeze protection for temperatures 32°F (0°C) and below. A second person will make this job easier.

1. Close all the faucets in the coach (including outside shower). Attach the shower hose to the outside shower quick connector.
2. Close the fresh water tank drain and all other low point drains. Include the hot/cold water line drain valves at the utility center.
3. The City Water valve should be set to the vertical (city water) position (Fig. 1).
4. Water heater bypass valves should be set to the BYPASS position. Middle valve ON and the two supply valves to the water heater OFF
5. Place the clear hose from the utility center (Fig. 2) into a container of RV antifreeze (requires about 2 gallons). The clear hose is located at the utility center. The dashed circle in (Fig 1) indicates an item behind the utility center panel.
6. Siphon valve should be turned so it is in-line with the clear plastic hose.
7. Turn the water pump ON (Fig. 1) and antifreeze will be drawn out of the container and into the water lines as each fixture is opened in the motorhome. To aid siphoning, place the antifreeze container on a flat surface approximately 2 feet off the ground.

To De-Winterize the Fresh Water System
Close the fresh water drain valve. Fill the fresh water tank with fresh water and rinse the RV antifreeze from each faucet or appliance that was protected with the RV antifreeze.
Fill the fresh water tank using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Connect a pressurized water source to the City Water inlet.
The city water valve (Fig 1) should be turned to the Tank Fill position (horizontal). Turn water source ON and fill the tank.
Method 2: Open the water tank compartment on the DOOR SIDE of the RV. Remove the fill cap from the water tank. Insert a hose (connected to a fresh water source) into the water tank. If there is a drain valve for the tank, it should be turned OFF. Turn water source ON and fill the tank.
Turn off and disconnect the water source. Turn the pump ON. Turn the Water Pump Back-flow valve ON. Purge all antifreeze out of the water lines by opening all faucets (including outside shower).
Once all the antifreeze is out of the water lines, turn pump OFF, replace the canister water filter, sanitize the system as necessary.
De-Winterize the Macerator Toilet: Press either button to flush and return to normal condition.
To De-Winterize the Fresh Water System
Close the fresh water drain valve. Fill the fresh water tank with fresh water and rinse the RV antifreeze from each faucet or appliance that was protected with the RV antifreeze.
Fill the fresh water tank using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Connect a pressurized water source to the City Water inlet.
The city water valve (Fig 1) should be turned to the Tank Fill position (horizontal). Turn water source ON and fill the tank.
Method 2: Open the water tank compartment on the DOOR SIDE of the RV. Remove the fill cap from the water tank. Insert a hose (connected to a fresh water source) into the water tank. If there is a drain valve for the tank, it should be turned OFF. Turn water source ON and fill the tank.
Turn off and disconnect the water source. Turn the pump ON. Turn the Water Pump Back-flow valve ON. Purge all antifreeze out of the water lines by opening all faucets (including outside shower).
Once all the antifreeze is out of the water lines, turn pump OFF, replace the canister water filter, and sanitize the system as necessary.
De-Winterize the Macerator Toilet: Press either button to flush and return to normal condition.
De-Winterize the Macerator System: Emptying the black tanks for the first time in the spring will discharge antifreeze in the macerator pipe and flex hose.
Shower Miser (if so equipped) Emptying the black tanks for the first time in the spring, will discharge antifreeze in the macerator pipe and flex hose.

Shower Miser (if so equipped)
The Shower Miser is a device attached to your inside shower that helps to conserve water especially when you are dry camping and are restricted to the amount of water available in your fresh water tank and don’t have ready access to a water supply. The device is installed on the incoming water line for the shower and will circulate water from your water heater, back into your fresh water tank until the water in the shower comes up to temperature. This prevents needlessly dumping your limited supply of water while waiting for the shower to heat up.

Operation
The device consists of a small valve and a blue plastic “dot” below the shower handle.
When the small valve (on the Shower Miser) is in the closed (OFF) position, wasted cold water is directed to the freshwater tank. No water will flow through the shower head. The blue “dot” will be dark blue when cold water is running through the shower plumbing. When the water is up to temperature, a blue “dot” will change color from a dark blue to white which indicates the water flowing into the shower is now hot. Turn the small valve in the opposite direction (to ON) and turn on the shower valve so water flows out of the shower head. The color change is obvious so there is no question when the water is at a comfortable temperature. As you shower, the small Shower Miser valve can be turned OFF while you use the soap, so water will divert into the fresh water tank instead of down the drain, plus it keeps the water up to temperature, so when you turn the Shower Miser valve back ON, you immediately have hot water to rinse with.

Filling the fresh water tank
Shower Miser will also fill the fresh water tank from inside the RV when hooked up to a pressurized water source.

1. A pressurized water source must be connected to the RV and turned ON.
2. Check the tank monitor to see how much fresh water is in the tank.
3. Turn the lever on the Shower Miser to bypass the showerhead (OFF).
4. Turn the cold water shower valve fully ON.
5. Watch the tank monitor as the fresh water tank fills.
6. When tank is full, turn the cold water shower valve OFF.

CAUTION:
When using the Shower Miser with pressurized city water hookups the fresh water tank can overflow on to the ground.
