Fresh Water Tank Fill Method

SpeakEasy wrote:
My Forest River Micro Lite 23LB has an external port for winterizing (adding anti-freeze) which uses the onboard water pump. There is a valve setting on the water pump that lets me switch from "normal" operation to "winterizing" operation. (Normal draws water from the tank; winterizing draws anti-freeze through that external port.)

There is nothing in any of my manuals about this.

Can I use this winterizing setting to use the pump to fill my water tank if I attach a full 5-gallon aqua-tainer, or some such thing, to the anti-freeze port?

It seems that I should be able to do this.

It will suck the water from your jug but it will not pump it into your water tank only into your water lines and out the faucets. I use a funnel that I put in the outside fresh water fill and then just dump the jug into the tank.

The point of that hose and valve is so u would not have to add plumbing antifreeze directly into your water tank instead it sucks from the antifreeze jug and into your water lines and out the faucets.

Hope that helps
