Fresh Water

1. Drain antifreeze from your lines by running the sink, showers, and flushing the toilet.

2. Fill fresh water tank with water and run it through all your lines one at a time by opening up the sink, showers, and flushing the toilet. Do this until no more colored antifreeze comes out.

3. Reinstall your fresh water filter under the sink.

4. Reinstall the batteries and connect them.

5. Check all roof seals for signs of aging or holes. Replace seals if needed.


Water Heater

If you disconnected and drained the water heater, you will need to reinstall it and hook it back up to the plumbing system after flushing antifreeze out of the fresh water system. Once you've reconnected the water heater, you can turn the breaker back to the on position.


If you used antifreeze for your water heater, you will need to run clean water through the system with the faucets on the hot setting to flush out the water heater. Ensure that all the antifreeze is out before turning the water heater breaker back on.
