How are pipes maintained during winter water readiness

By learning how to drain pipes for the winter, you must remove all water leftovers to prevent them from freezing and causing problems. You only need to worry about draining pipes if you plan to be away from your accommodation for an extended period of time. It is a straightforward process:

• Turn off the main water valve – it may be located inside or outside your home.
• Run all sinks in the house. The goal is to get all the remaining water out of the pipes. Start at the top floor and go down.
• Don’t forget the outdoor faucets! Use a hose to wipe the outside lines.
• Close your home for extended winter travel

You will need to prepare your home for the winter to prevent problems. The main goal is to get rid of all the water in your systems – without chemicals. In addition to the above steps on how to drain water from pipes, you will also need to equip water purification systems.

If you are using a drinking filter, be sure to get all the water out. While you will need to replace the filter itself when resetting, you can safely store your RO membrane. Just keep it in an airtight plastic bag in a cool place, and you’ll be good to go. Keep in mind, if you’ve been storing it for more than a year, you might just want to buy a new one to be safe.

What if you use a water treatment device?

Just take the following precautions:

• Unplug the system and drain as much water as possible with air.
• To get rid of stubborn water, use a bicycle pump tube to pump out the water.
• Whatever you do, don’t turn your unit upside down. It is dangerous and can destroy the integrity of the system.
• Keep the system in a cool place to reduce bacteria levels.
• When you’re ready to back up the system, flush all faucets for several minutes until the water runs clear.

Some water systems require different separations, so the best thing you can do is contact Carewater expert to find out what your system needs to prepare for winter.
