Hot Water Heater Bypass
I have had a 3 valve system and a one valve system but I have never had a two valve system. I am beginning the process of winterizing and want to bypass the hot water heater and am a little perplexed...

The bottom is a two way valve, it either lets through straight or shuts off straight and sends it the other way like it should. The top valve is an on/off valve only. If you send water upward with the bottom valve, you want to make sure the top valve is shut off.
Once you have them set to go up on the bottom, and not go into the HWT on the top, you will send cold water to all your taps, both hot and cold. HWT will be bypassed.
This worked perfectly. It's amazing how much clear water comes out of the shower line (further-est from the pump) before the pink stuff comes out...
Thanks for the help everybody...
