Hi all,
I have been putting off winterizing the water system until now. Next week we will be much colder, high in the 30's so I need to get this done.
I plan to pump in the RV antifreeze but I know I need to bypass the water heater. I am looking for some ideas. As I see it I need to add a shut off valve in the line to the HW heater cold water inlet. The challenge I see is the short amount of line between cold water tee fitting and the HW tank inlet. My idea is to extend that line, using a reinforced flexible hose, so that I can add a shut off.
If anyone has some pictures of how they did there it would be appreciated.
Jon
