Sounds like the bypass valve at the water heater is closed.  There are a couple of different sets of valves on RPods, but the most common type has 3 valves.  For winter the 2 on either side should be closed and the one in the middle should be open.

It gets into the lines the same way, it picks up from the bottle and pumps it through. If you are getting nothing on the hot side, the two most likely place to "have an issue" is, you are mistaken about the winterization valves position, possibly ALL three closed.. or, my favorite to forget.. a low point cap not installed/tight.

EDIT: a third possibility involves the outside shower hot side being open..

Re: anti-freeze in lines
I get pink solution (anti-freeze)coming from cold water taps but nothing from hot water taps. The valves to the hot water tank are a closed so anti freeze cannot get into it. How do I get anti-freeze into the hot water lines? Is there a valve somewhere?
Thanks for any help! My Rpod is to go into storage tomorrow so I need to get this sorted out!!]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2017 18:56:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10935&PID=102241#102241
