Water pump won't pull Antifreeze from the jug.

The only time I have ever had a problem drawing water from the water tank below the floor or from the jug of antifreeze when winterizing was due to a joint upstream of the pump leaking and drawing air not allowing the pump to pull the liquid.

Once I tightened the hose clamps or retaped the joints the pump pulled the liquid fine.

Don't forget to retighten the strainer bowel too.

We just came back from dry camping for 3 days,water pump on continuously for the ice maker. Cycled normally. On during use, off when taps closed.

Teflon taped pump inlet and adapter valve threads, also the strainer's male threads.
