I have a 2009 Freelander with the 2 knob water panel. With mine there is a 1/2"Pipe thread connection under the city water connection. By fashioning a hose with the correct fitting on the end (1/2"NPT),hooking it up and inserting the other end in a antifreeze jug it will suck antifreeze through the pump and push it through the system. The pump is then protected as well as the faucets,etc that may retain some water even with an air blowout.
The following needs to be done for this to happen:
Drain all water out of system that will drain out then close the valves. This is because the drain lines are "Dead" with trapped water with the valves closed.
Knobs need to be set to "Winterize"
Hot water heater bypass needs to be installed and the water heater isolated with the bypass valves.
Waterheater needs to be drained separately
On my unit it takes about 2 gallons of antifreeze with enough left over for the traps.
Don't forget the outside faucet if so equipped.
This has been covered in many other posts to this forum and can be researched if you are not clear.
