![]() If you get antifreeze in your hot water tank, here is an article detailing what you need to do. Once your water system has been properly winterized, it’s time to winter-proof other parts of your RV. You can also check the RV’s manufacturers manual for instructions on how to properly winterize your RV’s water system. ![]() The last thing you want is to mess up your RV’s water system because you skipped on a few essential steps. If you aren’t familiar with the winterizing procedure, then asking your mechanic for help would be the right thing to do. If you have a black tank flush, you can use an air compressor with this attachment to blow the water out of the valve.Replace the small screen, and your water system will be winterized.You may need someone to turn the pump on to flow the antifreeze. Take the small screen off the city water connection, then using a screwdriver (or anything long and pointy), push against the valves until the antifreeze comes out of it.To winterize the city water system, make sure to complete the step above, if not, you will damage a part.Release the pressure from the water system by opening the faucet.Switch the water pump off as soon as the water system is filled with the non-toxic antifreeze.Do the same with the toilet, shower, as well as the outside shower (If your RV has one).Repeat the same process until all the faucets are filled with the non-toxic antifreeze.Complete this for both hot and cold water. Close the faucet when you see the antifreeze come out.Open the faucet furtherest away from your water pump which will slowly fill the pipes with the non-toxic antifreeze.Doing so will result in pressure building gradually within the entire system. Dip one end of the transparent pipe which is from your water pump in a gallon of non-toxic antifreeze.However, if you haven’t installed it in your RV, you can still achieve the bypass by disconnecting the inlet side of the RV’s water pump. This kit will pull water from a tube instead of your fresh water tank so you can pump antifreeze in. ![]()
