now my question...CAN I STILL RUN THE AQUA HOT SYSTEM FOR HEAT USING EITHER THE DIESEL OR THE ELECT.....????
Thanks..Chuck
When I asked that question of Roger Burke on the Aqua Hot forum, he said yes. The Aqua Hot system is filled with a boiler coolant and that is what provides the heat to your heat exchangers in the coach. So, even if you 'winterized' you can still use the AH for heat.
Regarding Winterization, both Aqua Hot and Roger Burke strongly advise not to rely on just draining the domestic water and using air to blow out the water lines. The coiled domestic water lines in the Aqua Hot need to be winterized by pumping RV antifreeze (the pink stuff) through the system. Merely blowing out the water lines may leave enough water in the Aqua Hot coils for freezing and bursting. If that occurs, the repair is very expensive.
