1. Turn the water pump off at the control panel. If you have an exterior submersible pump ensure that this is un-plugged..
2. Open the drain valve at the water heater
a. On the Carver Cascade heater this is on the outside of the caravan at the bottom left hand corner of the flue cover.
b. For the Truma Ultrastore this is inside on the floor beside the heater. The yellow or red lever needs to be in the vertical position.
c. For any other water heater please refer to your owners manual.

4. Open all taps. If you have a single lever mixer tap then open this midway between hot and cold.
5. Pull out the shower hose and disconnect the shower head. Leave the end of the shower hose in the shower tray. Blow air through the shower head and store in a safe place.
6. If you have Whale Elegance taps then we advise that you unscrew the faucet, blow air through it and store in a safe place. Water is reluctant to drain from these if left in situ and frost damage may result.
