Hi Escape community,
We purchased a Escape 19 last summer so this winter we did our first winterizing of a camper. Outside of a few moments of head scratching, the winterization went well. This week I went to de-winterize the camper and have run into a problem.
I drained all the remaining Antifreeze out of the fresh water tank. Once the tank stopped draining, I filled the entire tank with clean fresh water. I opened the sink faucet and turned on the water pump with the hot water by pass on. I had the pink antifreeze come through the sink and bathroom faucet for a few seconds. Once the antifreeze was through, the water was white and had a significant amount of foam. It also had a slight odor of the antifreeze. While running an entire fresh water tank through the system, this foam has continued. I turned on both the cold and hot water valves in the bathroom sink as well as the kitchen. The odd part about this is when I flush the toilet, it comes out clear. Thinking about it logically, the toilet flush line does not have hot water lines.
This leads me to believe the foam (antifreeze residue as I believe it to possibly be) seems to have some association with the hot water lines.
I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has experienced this or has any insight as to how to fix the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
