Just hook it up to a city water supply and open all the faucets. Let it run for a while until all taste and/or odor is gone. Change any filters after you get the antifreeze out.You might want to check out our Forum FAQ. When there, scroll down to #23 for some valuable help.Barney

You will need to leave it winterized unless it is stored in a heated building. I can't imagine how you've gotten by without it in the past.Make sure the water heater bypass is set so that water goes into the water heater. You will also want to sanitize the system. There are numerous threads here on how to do that.

Where are you in North Carolina? With the current weather you should learn how to winterize... Here in Charlotte last night's low was 5 degrees! Danged global warming! Unless you are leaving immediately for Mexico I'd wait a few more weeks to dewinterize! Miami was at 40? Two nights ago.

Dewinterizing = letting the water run

The OP said it has antifreeze in it, and wanted to know how to remove it. Absolutely do not open the valves to the hot water tank until all traces of antifreeze have disappeared from your taps. You should collect the antifreeze from the taps until it starts to look watery when flushing and save it for putting into your black tank and grey tank next time you need to winterize. It is just slightly diluted and still very useful. Mark the containers as diluted though. Once you have put water through the street connection and drained the system, put some water into the fresh tank and run the pump so antifreeze goes out of there too. You must remember to do each water outlet and do it with the cold tap separate from the hot tap and not both together. When you cannot taste antifreeze in the tap water, then take the hot water tank off bypass and let some water into the hot tank and let it run out the drain for a few gallons. Then fill the tank and run some water through the tank and out a hot tap. There is lots to learn, and lots of mistakes to be made. My worst was pouring antifreeze into the hot water tank and out onto the ground out the open plug because of a stuck open hot line check valve, and the next was pressing the check valve head on the street water hose inlet while the system was pressurized. That buggered the check valve and sprayed all over the place too.
