Newbie here. We just purchased an rpod that was dewinterized in PA. But we are now in Minneapolis, MN where temps are below freezing over night to about 14°
Do I need to quick winterize again? Would running the furnace over night cover me until this cold spell us ends? |

Has water been re-introduced to the lines? If not you are fine but if there is water in the lines open the drain to the HW tank, it takes a 1 1/16 socket to remove. Move your valves to winterization mode. I would re-winterize with that cold of a temp. Cheaper to use a gallon of RV antifreeze thank fix broken or split water lines.

+1 on rewinterizing. Something will freeze up at those temps if they last more than a few hours
and the heater does nothing to help with the lines below the floor, and not much for the rest of the lines which are in the floor and not insulated. Winterizing is easy and cheap insurance. |
