Winterizing Lesson Learned November 17, 2019, 11:21:50 pm Our very first Lazy Daze lesson (fortunately a cheap one) - we just winterized using pink RV antifreeze and it was taking a bit more fluid than expected. Went out to double check the water heater - turns out the pressure relief valve had inadvertently been left open (gushing antifreeze onto our gravel driveway)......ooops! 3 Likes
Re: Winterizing Lesson Reply #1 – November 18, 2019, 12:24:01 am Ooooohhhh. I had my first winterization with our LD last week. I used the compressed air method. Went smooth but I didn’t not have adequate towels and big enough pan to handle all the excess water from the pump when I initially disconnected it. Spilled some water but got it cleaned up. I poured some rv antifreeze down the drains and in the water pump debris bowl 3 Likes

Most people that use the RV antifreeze would change the valves on the inlet/outlet fittings so the antifreeze is diverted around the water heater tank, and gets the antifreeze to the hot faucets on the sinks and tub ( and it wouldn't matter if the relief valve is open).
