Re: Winterizing
I wrapped the above ground spigots with rubber pipe insulation. There are too many to use heat tape. I do have heat tape on the two park unit's water lines along with a utility heater running full time. Wish me luck! Everyone is brand new here. Last years owners burst a lot of pipes. Hopefully blowing out all the pipes and filling all the drains with rv antifreeze is enough.252Views0likes0CommentsWinterizing
Well the cold weather is here! This week will be down to 25F. I am the new campground host and am in charge of making sure no pipes burst. For cabins not being used, I plan on hooking compressed air to the pvc water lines and blowing the water out the faucets. For cabins (park units) being lived in, I have small heaters underneath close to the pvc and pex water lines. I also am asking the tenants to leave their faucets dripping For all of the rv water hookups, I will place rubber pipe insulation on the above ground pipes. 25 degrees F is just the beginning. This winter we will most likely see 0F or colder. Does this sound adequate? What is your experience with winterizing?975Views0likes6CommentsRheem Hot Water Heater
Hello All! This is my first post here, expect many to come! I am beginning to prepare for winter at a RV campground. I am taking care of a couple of RV's and some cabins. My first project was to put a 3/4" water tap onto the water line of a cabin so that it could easily be drained with air pressure. As I was waiting for the PVC sealant to dry I had the water turned off, electricity turned off and hot water heater drained. "Someone else" came to the park and turned the electricity on before turning the water on. Now the water is coming out fine, but is not coming out hot. My question is... Did having the electricity on with an empty hot water heater cause a failure? I am imagining the heating element burning out or something similar. I am asking here for some discussion because I will not be able to check the cabin out until Sunday. Thank You All!2.2KViews0likes11Comments
