ger of freezing, it must be drained. The pump has a dmincock
which must be opened. Remove the priming plug to vent the
pump. Drain the pressure tank. Drain all piping to a point below
the freezing hne.
To drain an air volume control (AVC), remove the tubing Turn the AVC upside down. This will permit any water to drain into tank.
