Some people do believe the RV anti-freeze is completely toxic free. I do not!

Read the label on the bottle. Then read the labels on the foods you buy. You've been consuming it your whole life, unless you never have bought anything canned, bottled, bagged or boxed at the grocery store.

thanks

RV antifreeze is non toxic. There are no chemicals in it to make you sick. Just flush out the tank real good in the spring and you'll be good to go!

UH OH thanks

No danger, but I accidentally got some in the water heater and had a heck of a time getting it totally removed. Pulled the plug and drained the heater twice and still got foam in the hot water untill it finally got completely out of the system.

thanks

why not?
it will only be a tiny bit

I wouldn't worry about the rv antifreeze being toxic, many have left it in season after season before installing bypass valves, beside this I don't drink hot water. If you are concerned about it let the water run through it in the spring for 10 minutes or so to rinse it out.

thanks
this past winter while in socal one of the valves was making a terrible noise. so a grumbly tech took out the middles of both to stop the noise.
so we got new ones from Winnebago to replace them when the rig was winterized.

Next winter shut off the valve to the water heater then drain all the water out of your water heater via the drain plug on the bottom of the water tank.
