4.
Place the clear plastic hose into an adequate supply of FDA-approved "GRAS" RV
Antifreeze. Verify the intake valve positions are set for winterize (refer to Winterizing
Plumbing System).
5.
Turn the water pump ON and antifreeze will be siphoned into the plumbing system.
6.
Open and close all interior and exterior water faucets, one at a time, until only pure RV
Antifreeze is present. Perform this procedure for all the hot and cold faucets in the RV
and the outside shower.
7.
Turn the pump OFF. Remove the clear plastic hose from the container of antifreeze and
reset the sanitize/winterize intake valve back to the normal position.
De-Winterizing the Domestic Water Heating System
For de-winterization, completely fill the fresh water storage tank. Set the Tank Fill/City Fill
valve (at docking (utility) center) to City Fill position. Turn the water pump ON and open
and close all interior and exterior water faucets, one at a time, until only clear water is pres-
ent/visible. Reference Aqua-Hot Owner's Manual.
Troubleshooting (Aqua-Hot)
For detailed troubleshooting information and error codes for your Aqua-Hot system refer to
the manufacturer's owner manual provided in your warranty packet.
Outside Shower
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water is included for use outside of
your recreational vehicle. It may be located in a separate outside shower compartment
or at the utility center (if so equipped).
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
1.
2.
If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
3.
Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
4.
Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
5.
To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water, always close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for drain-
ing. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside
shower storage. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not a
leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF.
Turning off the water with the shower head lever can also create a condition where the hot
and cold water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature
of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot water heater is not working properly.
™ NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that it will drain
faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reassemble it prior to stor-
age.
™ NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage compart-
ment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head is positioned in a
way it can be damaged.
Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
™ NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to be bled
out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
