After draining the system:
1.
Water heater power should still be OFF (both electric and
LP Gas on standard storage water heater). Single switch is
inside the RV for the tankless water heater.
2.
Put the vinegar solution into the fresh water tank and set
the valves to the SANITIZE setting.
Attach a hose to the city water fill inlet. Put the other end of the hose in a container
3.
with the vinegar solution. Turn the pump ON. The solution will be drawn into the
fresh water tank (the water heater will be bypassed automatically). When the container
is empty, turn pump OFF, and disconnect hose from utility panel. To aid in siphoning,
place the container approximately (2) feet off the ground. The drain valves must be
closed.
4.
Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water from either a pressur-
ized source or siphon fill from a container.
5.
Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, including out-
side shower) until chlorine smell is gone. Set the valves to
the DRY CAMPING setting. Turn the pump ON to send
water through the lines.
6.
Close all faucets including outside shower. Turn pump OFF.
7.
Drain the system again, but do not drain the water heater (water heater power still OFF).
8.
Close low point drains and fresh water tank drain.
Refill the fresh water tank with clean potable water.
9.
10. Open faucets and check that the chlorine taste is gone.
11. Drain the system one more time.
12. Remove the clear tube and replace the cartridge filter (if so equipped), or remove full
system canister, insert filter, and reattach canister to the mount.
Refill the fresh water system with clean water. Water heater power can be restored
13.
(storage type water heater must be full of water).
Winterizing
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the
plumbing system must be winterized with RV antifreeze. Repairs due to
freezing are not covered under the terms of the Limited Warranty.
Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.
If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow-
ing information before starting. Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about
this process. It may be easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
™ NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb-
ing configurations between models.
