We take all the caps off and spray rv anti freeze on them.
Put them back on loose

Keep the pumps wet
At car accidents of fires have pump in gear and recirculating the water back to the tank.

If using hand lines we keep the flowing.
So they don’t freeze off

It is a challenge

How quickly can the tanks reheat the water as water coming from hydrants would be ice cold I'm betting?
