A peritoneal dialysis (“PD”) system includes a cycler having a peristaltic pump actuator; a disposable set including a pressure sensing manifold including first and second pressure sensing pods, a drain line and a first dialysis fluid/heater container line in fluid communication with the first pressure sensing pod, and at least one dialysis fluid container line and a patient line in fluid communication with the second pressure sensing pod; and a control unit programmed to operate the peristaltic pump actuator (i) in a first direction to pump fresh dialysis fluid along the at least one additional dialysis fluid container line into the first dialysis fluid/heater line and (ii) in a second direction to pump heated fresh dialysis fluid along the first dialysis fluid/heater line into the patient line. The pump actuator may be operated in the first direction again to pump used dialysis fluid from the patient to a drain.
