The hot water bypass is exactly where KFXgreenie stated. Driver's side basement behind the outside shower hook ups. You need to remove the basement wall panel to access it. Terrible design. I purchased plastic access doors from Home Depot, traced the backing onto the basement wall panel, and then used a jigsaw to cut out the hole to fit the access door. A little sealant around the access door to secure it to the wall with a clamp and when it dried I put the wall back up. Easy access now. You'll probably want to do the same thing on the other side of the basement to have access to the water pump when your ready to winterize. If you need any pictures to look at, send me an email and I'll get them to you.
