I just thought of trying to suck through the winterizing hose. Anything other ideas?


Pump needs to be primed so yeah, stick the winterizing hose in a jug of water and turn on the pump. Check also that the city water inlet check valve isn't leaking air into the system - a threaded male 3/4" plug will do the trick for this.
