Yes, I have always disconnected the accumulator so it will drain out the bottom.  The one time i forgot it cracked and had to be replaced.  Also all my water lines can be opened for draining at their lowest point, just in forward of the engine.

If we are talking about the water pressure accumulators, I wonder if anyone has any experience with winterising them. Do you need to disconnect it for the winter? Do you go through any extra steps?

Thanks

Subject: Stus-List Water system

Listers:
    I replaced my potable water tank last year and discovered that the water system must have a leak in one or more of the ancient hoses/fittings.  I decided that it’s time to replace the old hoses and check/replace fittings, and I’m considering also adding an accumulator tank.  The hose currently coming from the tank is 5/8” ID, but the accumulator tank I’m thinking about adding to the system accepts 1/2” ID hose.  Two questions: 1) are small accumulator tanks worth the cost and effort to install; and 2) is there any benefit of using 5/8” hose instead of 1/2” hose (or vice versa).  Please advise. Thanks.
