Hi mr. Bears
I guess the title of this thread could be called "destructive testing"
The volume of captive water in the icemaker and dishwasher valves is probably less than volume of a chicken's egg. How to best remove it is the question. Gravity would most likely, (might work?)
Removing the inlet water line and back blowing from the water on the door side would clear the water side but what about the icemaker side? Most likely that would clear the icemaker also but maybe not?
Gravity does work for the toilet but it drains back down 1/2 pex water lines.
This winter I plan on draining the tanks and evacuating the entire water system . If you dont already have the vacume equipment this may not be practical. How ever it's done it's done. We will find out success or failure come spring time.
