Atwood Water Heater

Every year when I begin to winterize, I am faced with the problem that my Atwood 6-gal. water heater does not have a bypass. I end up getting some of the pink stuff in the tank. Is there one that I'm missing? The manual is no help.

Whether your trailer's water heater is equipped with a bypass kit has nothing to do with the water heater but rather whether your trailer manufacturer installed the water heater with a bypass. If yours doesn't have one then simply install your own water heater bypass kit OR just disconnect the intake & output lines to the water heater and couple them together.

I think you are missing to turn one valve.

Here are some pics of a systems valve configuration, scroll down thru it.
