PLUMBING SYSTEMS

3. Bypass the icemaker.

4. Bypass the washer/dryer.

5. Make sure both water heater (12-volt and

120-volt) control switches are OFF.

6. Turn the “water heater bypass valves” to

the BYPASS position.

7. The low point drains must be closed for

the RV antifreeze to siphon through the
lines.

8. Open the “fresh water tank bypass valve.”

9. Place the free end of the clear hose in the

container of RV antifreeze solution (this
quantity should be enough to winterize the
RV); and open the “winterization valve”.

10. Turn the water pump ON.

If the water pump fails to self-prime,
temporarily open the low point drains.
Close the low point drains as soon as the
water pump primes (RV antifreeze will
begin draining out) and before continuing
to the next step.

11. Open the hot water line on all the faucets

(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower) until RV antifreeze begins to flow
continuously.

12.

Close the faucet hot water lines and
repeat with the cold water lines on all the
faucets. Do not forget to run RV antifreeze
through the toilet.

13. Turn the rinse cycle on long enough to get

antifreeze into the ball valve inside the
washer/dryer.

When you are done adding RV antifreeze:

14. Remove the free end of the clear hose

from the container of RV antifreeze.

15.

To prevent staining, wipe the RV
antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub)
and toilet using a soft, dry cloth.

To reduce the chance of contamination,
prevent the free end of the clear hose from
coming into contact with the ground. If
needed, contact your RV dealer or Entegra
Customer Service for assistance.

Water from the sinks and shower flow into the
grey water (or waste water) holding tank.
Water from the toilet will flow into the sewage
(or black water) holding tank.

Drain pipes

The drain pipes have P-traps installed to help
prevent odors from escaping into the RV.
During travel, water from the P-traps may spill
and permit odors into the RV. These odors
come from food particles decomposing in the
tank. By adding water and using a RV
approved deodorizing agent you will dissolve
the contents faster and will keep the drain
lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These
chemicals are available for purchase at an RV
supply store or from your dealer.

Vents

Another important part of this system is the
vent pipes and vents that release air from the
grey and black water holding tanks. The
exterior vent cap is attached to the roof and
must be kept clear of obstructions to perform
as intended. On some models, the vent pipe
may be part of the drainage system referred
to as a "wet vent" (water flows downward as
air flows upward in the same pipe).

The toilet is efficient and easy to operate.
Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation
system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient
water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during
flushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the
tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could

It is important to prevent solid waste
buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s
recommended instructions each time after
emptying the black water holding tank.
