Sanitizing/Winterizing The Plumbing System - Jayco Swift Owner's Manual

Sanitizing/Winterizing The Plumbing System

The water heater must be bypassed before adding antifreeze or sanitizing solu-
tion to your water system. Failure to do so could result to damage to the water
heater and/or water filter.
Water Heater Bypass
Most floor plans have a factory installed water heater bypass that
enables you to avoid filling the water heater with RV antifreeze.
Bypass valves next to the water heater. Locate the bypass shut
off valve(s) by removing the access door located on the top of the
(driver side) sofa base.
Normal Mode operation allows water to flow into the water
heater. Both hot and cold bypass valve handles should
be pointed toward the water heater connections.
Bypass Mode operation diverts the flow of water around
the water heater, keeping water out of the water heater.
Hot water bypass valve handle should point inline with
the (red) hot water outlet line. Cold water bypass valve
handle should point inline with the (blue) cold water inlet
line.
