Water pump won't pull Antifreeze from the jug.

Since we don't use the water pump a lot, we always have to prime it when we winterize. Get a small funnel and pour antifreeze into the intake tube while running the pump. After you have antifreeze going through the pump, put the intake tube into the jug. It takes a bit, but has always worked for us.

this is what I have to do to one of our TT's

you did put it on the input side of the pump? do to design/construction I had to mount mine on the output side and then used a boat bilge pump to force AF in. and of course you had the valve turned the correct way?

You installed it as shown here? youtube

When you turned the pump on did you have a faucet open? You have to have a faucet open in order for it to work.

Stupid question...do you have the valves lined up correctly (line from fw tank closed, line from jug open), and are the low point drains closed?
