Draining Water System

[padlin]

Attempting to drain the water completely out of the trailer after filling the system with bleach/water for sanitizing, how is this accomplished without low point drains? Is a compressor the only means? I can drain the hot water tank and the fresh tank but not the lines. Am I missing something?

Hi Bob

What we do is flush the lines out, just let the water run for a few minutes and your done.

Thanks Doug, that's kind of what I was figuring but was hoping you could easily drain all the water out. That's how I'd prefer to leave it between trips.

If you wanted to, you could blow out the lines with an air compressor same as you would do for winterizing.

Understood, just a bit of a hassle as my compressor lives in the basement so I have to run the hose out the window.
