1st Trip

[wls]

This coming Sunday, we will be setting up in a local campground for the first trip. Question I have when I hook up to city water, is there anything I have to do as far as the residential refridgerator (Whirlpool)? Do I put the filter in, or run it first with the by-pass plug in? Also as far as the ondemand hot water, does anyone have a pic of the way the valves should be turn to have hot water, I'm assuming that the water heater is in bypass, for the winterization.
I'll take a pic tonight, of the valves for the hot water, and see if I can post on here. Thanks

Do you have an on demand water heater or do you have a standard tank water heater? Apples and oranges. I believe there may be no winterization (by-pass) valves associated with the on demand system. If you have the tank system turn the 2 valve handles in the water lines going to the water heater so they are in-line with the lines and turn the valve handle in the line that goes between the 2 water heater lines perpendicular to the line. Your set.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention we have the on-demand system

You did mention it but you also mentioned by-pass valves for winterization and I haven't seen any reference on this forum for by-pass valves associated with the on-demand system. There may be and someone with knowledge of this type system should chime in.

Ya guess I did, but I agree I don't really see a reson to bypass the on-demand

Here's a discussion of an on-demand water heater with no hot water due to being left in winterization bypass mode. Also it has a drain valve. On-demand doesn't mean the hot water heater doesn't hold water in a small tank. For that small tank, bypass keeps the antifreeze out for taste and smell, also it's not needed because the tank can and should be drained.

That's a nice valve system and easy to get to. Mine is a pain to get to behind the pass thru storage. I have to remove a wall. Why can't they all be made this like?
