I was wondering how to blow out the wet pipes. I have a sea pump that pumps the water from the lagoon and a water radiator, kitchen and bathroom sinks, one toilet and shower. The heat will not be departed on.
Don't forget The drain pipes if there will be no roast. Anything with a trap can freeze and break, this includes your toilet. As for the sea supply lines I would start by shutting off the marine opening the unbeatable fixture and the lowest (hose bib maybe). This will allow the water contained by the pipes to drain. Check your pump to see if it has a drain on it. hook a hose to your hot marine tank at the bottom and drain. Hope some of this help, hard to deem not knowing how your house is plumbed.

Answers: I wouldn't completely blow all of the hose down out, especially the traps because you will get sewer gas put money on into the cottage. Instead use some RV antifreeze and add it to adjectives the traps, including the toilet. Also, if you have a dishwasher and/or washer you will involve to add antifreeze to them as capably. There are some pretty good suggestions within these articles:
