16. Using a long funnel, begin pouring non-toxic swimming pool or recreational vehicle water
system antifreeze into the filter canister fittings, bleeder valve fittings and jet fittings of your
system. Continue adding antifreeze until it comes out of the drain fittings or from the
opening you are pouring it into. You must complete this task for every jet fitting in the
system. Some of the antifreeze will seep into the system from the drain or jet fittings, which
is okay, the goal is to have anti-freeze collect in the areas of the plumbing that would
normally trap water. Use the funnel to also place antifreeze into the pump housing(s).
When pouring antifreeze into the rear-most bleeder valve fitting, you may see
antifreeze pouring from one or both of the circulation system-return fittings.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE COOLING SYSTEM ANTIFREEZE IN YOUR SYSTEM.
IT IS TOXIC AND HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS. CHECK WITH YOUR
LOCAL SPA DEALER OR RV DEALER TO PURCHASE
NON-TOXIC ANTIFREEZE
THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS!
17. Replace all equipment access panels onto the system.
18. Replace thermal cover and secure locking tabs. If your system is located in an area of high
snowfall, you may want to take one more extra precaution to safeguard the life of your
system cover. Span the cover with (2 or more) 2x4’s cut to length to reach the outside
edges of your cover. Be sure to place the 2x4’s on top of the cover parallel to the cover
hinge. Next, place a sheet of plywood, cut to fit each half of the cover, over the 2x4’s; this
will carry the load of a heavy snow load and prevent the cover from warping or breaking.
You can even tarp the system at this point for maximum protection.
