Skip the compressor and keep it simple. This hand-operated pump lets you draw RV-safe antifreeze directly from the jug and push it through your waterlines and supply tanks -- no electricity, no air pressure, no special tools required. A straightforward solution for seasonal winterization of your RV, camper, or travel trailer.
When temperatures drop and it is time to protect your RV plumbing, the Camco 36003 Hand Pump Kit gives you direct, mess-free control over where antifreeze goes in your water system. Insert the 12-inch inlet tube into your antifreeze jug, prime the pump, and push non-toxic antifreeze through the 2-foot outlet tube into each fixture and line until you see the pink fluid at every faucet, toilet, and drain.
This kit is a reliable low-tech tool for RV owners who want to winterize without draining every drop of water from the system using compressed air. Combined with a water heater bypass kit (sold separately), you can protect the entire plumbing loop without wasting antifreeze filling the water heater tank.
Fully manual, hand-operated pump works anywhere -- no outlet, no compressor, no battery required.
Pump antifreeze line by line, fixture by fixture, so you know every section of pipe is protected.
Entire kit weighs just 0.83 lbs and stores in a small bag or tool bin for next season.
Includes hand pump, 2 ft outlet tube, and 12 in inlet tube -- everything you need to start pumping.
Camco and other manufacturers offer water heater bypass kits that isolate your water heater from the plumbing loop. Using one before you pump antifreeze prevents you from filling the water heater tank -- which can hold 6 to 10 gallons -- with antifreeze you do not need to use. This saves antifreeze and time.
The basic winterization sequence with this pump kit:
This kit is a pump delivery system only. RV-safe non-toxic antifreeze (propylene glycol-based) must be purchased separately. Do not use automotive or ethylene glycol antifreeze in any potable water system.
After use, flush the pump and tubes with clean water. Store dry to prevent residue buildup inside the tubes. The tubes are replaceable standard vinyl tubing if they become kinked or cracked over time.
