The hot water heater has a drain on the front. Remove it and leave it out for the winter. Turn off the 110v breaker for the hot water heater. This is precaution to ensure you don't switch on the hot water in the spring before you have filled the heater.

Also, there will be a bypass valve to isolate the hot water heater so when you pump the pink antifreeze through your system it will not fill up the hot water heater. You will also find a hose near your 12v water pump to use to pump the antifreeze into the water lines.

Close the low point drains and open each faucet in turn until it runs pink. This will also help to fill your drains with antifreeze. Pour some down the toilet. Don't forget the outside shower.
