When we winterized our fifth wheel for the first time back in 2020, during the practice run I found that the non return (one way) valve on the back of the water heater was letting by. This would let the antifreeze into the heater and I've read that is not desirable. I replaced the valve and all was well.
Just tried a dummy run ready for next month and the new valve is letting by. Is this normal for that valve to need replacing every time you winterize?
I appreciate that it could be a little bit of limescale stuck behind the valve seat, but by the time I've accessed it to try and clean it, I could replace it and know the job is done.
Do others have the same issue?
