best is to shutoff water at street - if not street then house input, and open all taps to empty system. Pour anti freeze in all sink traps. Empty toilet basin and add anti freeze. Cover toilet if you have pets who drink from toilet.
If you want working water, no heat while you still live there (Ukraine) then all runs will need to be empty or to have flowing water relief. Flow relief is a fast dripping tap, just short of a stream for the coldest weather -20C or so.
- alamortsubite 4y agoThese are good tips. I'd add that unless the plumbing has been thoughtfully installed with future draining in mind (unusual in many places), after gravity draining it may be necessary to force remaining water out of the pipes using compressed air, especially if they are copper (PVC and especially PEX are more resilient to freezing).
