Using a hand pump siphon to winterize?

I would caution those that pour anti-freeze in the fresh water tank if they don't know how much plain water is in the tank that the pump cannot pick up. In my case. the tank sagging between supports and the pump pick up port being well above the tank bottom, there was gallons of water remaining. With the dilution, wasted anti-freeze and considerable flushing in the Spring, it is a poor way to winterize.

I can see my entire fresh water tank as it is mounted upright in the back. Nowadays many are under the bed in full view. And in both cases have low point drains leaving no water at the bottom.

Real sorry to hear your tank is defective and sagging between supports and leaves water at the bottom. :(

But you defective tank does not equate to the fact that others should be told it is a poor way to winterize. To each his own. Whatever works for you!!:W
