If you think it is part if the winterization process even if told otherwise, then just open to be sure.

Wondering if you have clarified with Colonial whether this valve should be opened for a proper winterization? It wouldalso be interesting to know exactly what its function is, relative to the macerator toilet, and why it spurts water when it does.

With frost approaching us here in the NE, winterization is creeping over the horizon.

Thanks,

Peter

Why the valve exists they told me "we don't know." Maybe a technician at service does know but the service department does not. So it's closed and I am never touching it again. ��

Thanks for the help. And would I assume that when I winterize I will want to reopen?
. . .
Curious whether you have determined the winterization aspects of that valve/drain? I looked at your YouTube site, but could not find the video you mentioned you would be posting. Could you give us a link and time stamp?

Looks like you guys are having fun, quite an adventure!

Happy Trails.

Peter
