I need advice on how to drain the antifreeze out of my R-pod. Is there anyone that can help me?

Most likely it is just in your lines so you have 2 options. 1) hook up to your outside water supply and hook up to your fw supply line. Turn water on inside at all your outlets until the pink is gone and clear water is seen. 2) Put about 4 gallons in your fw tank. Turn pump on and then go through all your outlets until clean water is seen. Also, after doing that turn your 2 or 3 bypass valves to the 'summer' position or just turn each 1/4 turn from where they were, you will be good. If pump doesn't give water the most likely culprit is that the 3 way valve is not in the correct position, it may have been left open after winterizing last fall. Look for the short pigtail that you used to winterize and follow it up to the valve.
