Same set up since the 60's on The Broads. James Gray did the whole shebang and works perfectly! Just open the spigot next to the water line and open all of the faucets in the camp. We have a tankless water heater that is a god send! Takes 15 20 minutes to completely drain the water and pour RV antifreeze in all the drains.

One winter, we stayed at the camp for a week for snowmobiling. I attached a hose at the water line spigot, chop a hole in the ice to put the hose in. I turned on the pump and I was able to have running water for the week. When I leave I just drain the system! Pretty slick!
