He Ruide > The simplest method to get anti-freeze into the PUP is to add it to the water tank. However you either have compensate for the residual water dilution OR if the tank was drained, then you have to add extra anti-freeze to get it up to water pump inlet hose. While it is the smplest method, it is not preferred because of the large volume of antifreeze that is needed plus it has to drained or flushed up next spring.

He Ruide > This is a spout and flexible tube that can be used to add anti-freeze to the fresh water tank.

He Ruide > Another way to get Anti-freeze into the water lines is to install a permanent winterizing connection kit.

He Ruide > The winterizing connection is placed between the water line from the tank and the pump inlet. The plastic hose from the "T" is inserted into a bottle of anti-freeze.

He Ruide > Turn the valve so the pump will pump anti-freeze from the bottle. Note - because of a short space between the inlet line and the pump, I had to add an extra hose from a pump silencing kit.

He Ruide > After anti-freeze has been added to the PUP, remove the plastic line and replaced it with a cap. Turn the valve to connect the pump with the fresh water tank.

He Ruide > The third way to add Anti-freeze is to use the pump inlet line. This is the 1/2" diameter, translucent, water line at the bottom of the fresh water holding tank. It runs up to the 12 volt pump. Remove the water line by loosening the clamp or hose clip.

He Ruide > Insert the water line into a bottle of anti-freeze. Note - you will need two or three bottes of Anti-freeze when you are using the method - the amount you use will depend on the lenght of hoses, number of systems drains, whether you blew out the water with air.

An alternative is to permanetly attached the winterizing kit to the outlet from the tank. To get antifreeze into the system, screw the plastic tube to the three way valve and insert the other end into a bottle of antifreeze.

He Ruide > Go into the PUP, open the access way to the water heater and look for the bypass valve. Turn it to bypass the heater. You can purchase or make a bypass kit if needed. Note the bypass line eliminates filling up an empty heater with Anti-freeze.
