Stan Simpson:
If you have Aqua Hot or Hydro Hot, you can't blow out the lines. There will always be some water in the bottom of the coils, and if it freezes, big problems. You must pump (using your water pump) anti freeze into the water lines until they run pink on both hot and cold. This will assure that the coils are winterized.

John Padmore:
OK, here are the answers:

1. No electric to the coach until Christmas once I leave
2. No electric water heater.
3. No washer/dryer.
4. Have an icemaker, but I can blow the water out of the line.
5. I have an Aquahot unit

Thanks.....

Be sure to follow Stan's advice on winterizing your aqua-Hot,using antifreeze the pink stuff made for the purpose, you can purchase at any Rv store, Walmart etc., don't be shy, use lots.  8)

Edward Buker:
John,

It would probably be safest if you attached a hose to the inlet of the water pump and pumped the pink stuff until it came out all the faucets. If you have to do that for the aquahot you might as well just keep going, it is the safest. That would mean open the low point drains momentarily until pink comes out, include the outside faucet if you have one. RVs have traps on the drains that boats do not, so as you do this process you will also fill the drains. If you choose to blow air through the lines at least finish by pouring the pink stuff down each drain. The water inlet at the service panel can be blown out first with just the cold low point drain open to clear that line. There are threads on this procedure. Colorado gets cold and you just do not want to have to worry.

Later Ed

John Padmore:
Thank you all for your input. You have talked me out of air blowing the lines. I just bought a load of pink RV antifreeze :).....thanks.

John
